Aslan Health Doctor Visit Guide
A physician's guide to preparing for, communicating during, and following through after healthcare visits, with a printable planner and visit-notes page.
Healthcare visits can feel hurried, and it is easy to leave unsure of the plan. This seven-page guide helps you prepare well, communicate clearly, and follow through afterward. It accompanies the Aslan Health podcast series on healthcare visits: Reveal, Reset, and Renew.
What is inside
Six preparation steps, including a health journal and a complete medication and supplement list, plus a bring-with-you checklist and common pitfalls to avoid.
Eight practices for the visit itself, including a one-sentence agenda and teach-back, plus six questions worth asking.
Six follow-through steps and a follow-through map, including your right under HIPAA to see and get a copy of your records.
A printable Appointment Planner and a Visit Notes and Next-Step Plan.
Scripture from James 1:5 and Proverbs 15:22.
The guidance draws on patient-engagement resources from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and on HHS guidance about your medical records. Links are listed in the guide.
This guide helps you work with your clinician; it does not replace their instructions. For symptoms that may be life-threatening, call 911 or your local emergency number.
