Make one shared plan
Choose one family contact to hold the appointment details, identification, reports, medication list and insurance information. For children or older adults, ask the hospital in advance about the appropriate department and required documents.
On the day
- Allow time for registration, payment and finding the correct building or department.
- Confirm with the hospital whether fasting or other preparation is required before eating or drinking.
- Write down the clinician’s instructions and the agreed follow-up step.
