Patient Information Record
The AAN Patient’s and Family Advisory Committee (PFAC) recommends that amyloidosis patients carry with them a complete and up-to-date Amyloidosis Patient Information Record. It asks that you introduce the document to the patient and encourage them to fill it in. This document would contain a record of their amyloidosis journey including amyloidosis type, impact, treatment and medications and include the names and contact details for all medical professionals involved in their care. It is seen as an effective and efficient communication catalyst between patient and medical professionals as well as ensuring all medical professionals treating them, including emergency responders, are fully informed of the patient’s condition and the others involved in their care. It has the potential to increase the patient’s understanding, involvement and ownership of their care leading to better treatment outcomes.
