In each case we have an entry screen to create the base record and then a separate window to show the actual record with all its parts. To make a record click on the appropriate button at the top of the window and fill in the basic fields in the window that appears. If you click "Make It", the record is added to your database.

Appointments


Appointments are displayed in a separate window for convenience, Appointment records don't contain any actual medical information but it's a very good idea to enter all your appointments. The application will give you reminders when they are coming up and most important, you can write down questions that you have for the doctor. Many of us will forget all the things that we want to ask a doctor when we are in the office and this is a simple way to make sure you have all your concerns addressed.

Most appointments will result in a second matching record. For example, you will make an appointment record for a checkup and then a second record for the checkup itself. In the checkup record you will record your own notes, the doctors comments and most importantly, the doctors instructions. Research shows that many people quickly forget exactly what the doctors instructions were, especially when dealing with complex problems or multiple issues. When you enter appointment and matching records on the app, everything you enter will be available on the match iPhone and iPad apps (free apps). So you don't have to take your laptop with you to the doctors office. You can type or dictate the doctor's comments and instructions into the phone or iPad and the information will be available on your Mac. Both the iPhone and iPad apps access the same database that you create with the Mac app.
