Do the right people know what medication your child is on?

Keep one running medication list with the medication, the dose, and the time of day, update it whenever something changes, and keep it somewhere you can reach in a second. Every new doctor and nurse will ask, and a single current list beats digging through portals or your memory.

Every new doctor, every new nurse, and every new care team member will ask for your child's medication history. The same applies at every checkup.

Here are three ways to keep the doctors and the people on your care team updated:

1. Keep one running medication list. Having the medication, the dosage, and the time of day in one place maintains a single source of truth for your child.
2. Update this list regularly, whenever there are changes a parent, a caregiver, or the school needs to know, to ensure continuity of care across the care team.
3. Keep this information easy to access, so that you are not digging through medical portals or recalling the list from memory.

Using Care Team Binder's medication list keeps your child's medications organized and easy to access. Save Care Team Binder to your phone's home screen for one-click access to the medication list and medical records whenever you need them.
