Personal Medical Record Keeping Made Easy--The MedTrakkers Family of Health Organizers

One of the most important things to do when faced with a serious health problem to promote wellness and get the most out of doctor visits is to maintain a concise personal health record. The MedTrakker Organizers offer an extensive record keeping tool but also provide information about diseases, risk factors, and ways to manage the patients’ health condition. Complete personal medical records can only result in more effective and better medical care.

It’s a simple process and it’s essential to make sure a patient gets the best care possible. MedTrakker has created a family of personal medical record organizers and the benefits are astounding. Finally an easy way to provide health professionals a complete understanding of a patients health condition, reduce the stress of filling out hospital and medical forms, avoid unnecessary treatments, duplicate tests and lab work and prescription drug interactions, save time, etc… the list goes on and on.

With these personal medical record tools patients are able to track and record family histories, previous surgeries, medications, appointments, personal information, emergency contacts and insurance information. The Medtrakker family offers a variety of personal medical record organizers such as; Diabetes Trakker, Cardio Trakker and Cancer Trakker.

I came up with the idea behind MedTrakker when I was faced with managing care for my mother first, who was diagnosed with Leukemia and second, my husband, who was diagnosed with Liver Cancer. When a loved one is faced with a serious health condition, their medical records must be as accurate as possible. “There were times when I didn’t know if I’d ever obtain all my mother and husbands medical records… there were so many doctors.”  One physician’s office may have completely different information than another if records aren’t kept up to date. It’s easy to lose life saving information in the scramble to gather it all into one place after the fact.

“I wanted to help save other families from having to suffer and anguish like I did to try and keep records current for my mom and my husband”. Until records are compiled electronically and made available for all healthcare providers to access them, it can’t be certain that all doctors will have the same information at any given time. With these organizers by MedTrakker a patient can have all their information at their fingertips. They can put an end to the guesswork, uncertainty, worry and confusion.

The medical organizers are available exclusively online at: MedTrakker.com, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and many other popular book retailers.

Understanding Your Baby's Growth and Milestones

As a new parent or guardian, you're awaiting your child's first time their eyes follow you, a smile, lifting their head on their own and other milestones. Find out when to anticipate these developments of newborn progression, and understand what you can do to motivate them.

It's easy for a new mother and father to get fixated on their newborns progression and predict all those newborn “firsts.” After all, it’s only natural for parents to want their newborn to be happy and well-balanced — and even extraordinary. Mom and dad usually focus on newborn milestones because they help evaluate a child's growth and tell parents that their little one is growing as expected.

While your newborns first smile, laugh, and crawling is certainly exhilarating, it’s essential for parents to have fun and not let motivating these baby milestones overcome them. Parents don't have to constantly be doing something. Consistent talking can be tiring to an infant, who also needs quiet time.

Babies begin to be vocal around 1 month. At 3 months, they should push their head up when they're on their stomach. By 4 months, they chatter in response to you and squeal with laughter.

Parents should watch these beginning milestones, along with the more apparent "firsts" such as walking and talking. 

Here are some of the common newborn milestones you can anticipate, and some basic suggestions you can use to help your newborn attain them.

 Baby Milestones Timeline--

2 Months--     Smiles when they hear your voice

3 Months--      Lifts head when relaxing on stomach. Grasps things.

                        Smiles at other people.    

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

4 Months        Babbles, laughs, and tries to mimic sounds.

6 Months        Rolls over. Switches objects from hand to hand.

7 Months        Responds to their name.

                        Discovers partly hidden objects.

 9 Months      Sits without minimal support. Starts to crawl.

12 Months     Walks with or without support

                       Speaks at least one word

                       Enjoys mimicking people

18 Months     Walks by themselves

                       Drinks from a cup

                       Says at least 15 words

2 Years         Runs

                     Talks in two-word sentences

                      Follows easy instructions

                      Begins imaginary play

3 Years        Climbs  

                     Talks in multiword sentences

                     Sorts items by appearance, shape and color

4 Years        Interacts with people outside the family

                     Draws circles and squares

                     Rides a tricycle

5 Years       Says name and address

                    Jumps, hops, and skips

                    Can get dressed

                    Counts 10 or more items

Don’t Compare Your Child’s Milestones

Baby milestones vary by each child. While the timeline noted above is standard, don’t be concerned if your child does not follow it precisely. Babies develop at unique rates, so try not to compare your child with other children their age. 

Having said that, don’t be reluctant to contact your child's pediatrician or other health provider if you’re concerned about your child's development — trust your parental intuition.

My Baby Trakker, baby keepsake book will help guide parents with their child's growth and development stages. You can write down your questions or concerns so you can get answers while you’re at an appointment. Your baby’s doctor is your best resource for learning about how to care for your newborn.

Personal Medical Record Keeping Can Save Your Life

We keep financial, care and pet details, but how many of us keep our personal medical records? Most of s depend on our Doctors to keep our health history details current and available - when the only individual you can depend on for these details is you.

A few years ago, my mother of 78 was rushed to the hospital while on vacation in another state with heavy fatigue and extreme bruising over her torso. She had been feeling a bit under the weather for a few weeks, but we thought she just couldn't shake the cold she had.

Of course she had none of her medical records with her, and being it was the weekend all of her Physicians offices were closed. I had to travel by plane to reach her, and by the time I got to the hospital 24 hours later. Many of the Doctor's questions were still unanswered. I learned a valuable lesson that day. How keeping an up to date personal medical record could not only save your life, but also help your doctor to diagnose and treat you more accurately.

My mother was diagnosed with Leukemia and along with that ill fated news, came a whirlwind of Physician appointments, Laboratory Tests, Drug Store runs, Insurance Claims and Medication changes.

Medical care is continuing to grow progressively more complicated and specialized; no more can one physician do it all. My own practical knowledge as well as studies have proven that the more you get engaged in all factors of your medical care -- such as gathering and understanding your medical information -- the better off you will be for it.

 Many individuals see more than one health provider, especially if they have a chronic or terminal illness. Every time a patient sees a new doctor, they are required to fill out the same forms over and over. Past medical history, surgeries and medications they are currently taking. Memory recall may not be thorough when a patient is under stress.

Yet if you're like most individuals, you expect that your main physician knows everything about you and will bring up to date the new medical physician on your complete historical past. even though you probably don't know your own historical past or information of your problems on command. When was your last tetanus shot? What anti-biotic efficiently took care of your last bacterial infection? What is your glucose level?

 The fact that physicians are interacting with mass confusion is only part of the reason you need to take charge of your health details. Physicians are further tied because they don't even have a workplace compartment or data file cupboard full of complete medical history details to select from nowadays. When people move or change work and therefore have new insurance plans and physicians, index charts are not consistently moved. Even if you approved to have your medical records forwarded, complete details are seldom sent to your new physician, and too often details are missing or not sent at all. Women often have their details separated between a doctor and physician. Who has your last Pap Smear result? Mammogram report? Latest blood test results?

 Did you know that 80 % of what a physician will depend on to make a precise analysis and suggest the right treatment comes from the details in your medical records? These details is perhaps more essential than any other. Think about the problems of making a diagnosis -- let alone advising the right therapy -- if details are missing, wrong or imperfect.

I feel the option to this catastrophe is a grass-roots effort, with each of us getting our medical information into our hands by collecting our own medical information. I designed a simple easy to use method that will map it out for you. This method was designed from my 20 years of practical knowledge first as functioning in the healthcare industry, then as a mom, daughter, wife and care provider. It is in reaction to these serious changes in the exercise of medicine, changes that make it more important than ever that we, as people, take control over our own medical history.

Women make most of the health-care judgments (and provide most of the care) for themselves, their kids, their mother and father and their spouses. So let's deal with it, we are in the best position to ask for and begin maintaining information for everyone in our care. What better present to give a child going off to higher education or beginning out on their own than a comprehensive permanent medical history. Think about the relaxation an older people parent or guardian will experience understanding that you are assisting them keep a record of their medical details and results. I know that my mother who trusted her doctors, experienced an incredible peace of mind having their vital health details at their finger tips to share with the many physicians and specialists they see.

My wish is that at some point soon, with this knowledge you now possess, patient-held medical records will be the concept instead of the exclusion. Best wishes on taking control over your medical record management.
