Google Docs template for summarizing your health history

This document prompts you to reflect on your priorities and goals, add basic info about how you’re feeling and what you’ve tried, and write down some questions and theories so that you can make better use of your next doctor visit. Here are some sample screenshots:

I prefer a co-editing tool like Google Docs because it allows me to collaborate on the document with people in real time, and they can in turn opt to share it with other family members or caregivers.

It’s nothing too fancy, but it can help you start to get your thoughts together, determine your priorities, and start to see things in one place. Health records and patient portals just don’t capture or easily display many of the key things you may want to express (or that doctors want to know) — like detailed info about your symptoms, alternative treatments that are helping, what’s been ruled out, etc.

The ultimate goal of this document is to help you understand your health history and communicate better with your doctors — to build consensus on what’s happened in the past so you can agree on how to move forward.

Finally, as always, I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvement!
