A convenient way to record long-term care (PDF)

To save time when searching through the medical records and lab results of patients that need frequent follow-up diagnostic testing, we attach this patient summary sheet to the top right-hand side of each patient's medical record folder. We use the sheet for everything from follow-up renal profiles to thyroid testing to ultrasonographic examinations. When a client calls to find out when his or her pet's next procedure is due, we can easily and quickly retrieve the information. Of course, we still send follow-up notices. --Dr. Mark Russak Kensington, Conn.
