GetMedFocus Tips

These short tutorials show how to provide more useful information to GetMedFocus and keep your profile current, organized, and ready for your next healthcare conversation.

GetMedFocus Tip #1

Don't Just Enter the Name of Your Medication

Add the details you know, including dose, frequency, why you take the medication, instructions, and other useful information. More complete information gives GetMedFocus more context when preparing your report.

GetMedFocus Tip #2

Use Your Health Journal Between Appointments

Record symptoms, medication changes, improvements, problems, and other health events while they are fresh. Over time, those entries can provide useful history and context for your next report and appointment.

GetMedFocus Tip #3

Don't Wait Until the Night Before Your Appointment

Make small updates as changes happen rather than trying to reconstruct months of health information from memory the night before an appointment. Review instead of reconstruct.

GetMedFocus Tip #4

Include Your Vitamins and Supplements Too

Your health information should include more than prescriptions. Add the vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other supplements you take, along with the dose, frequency, and other details you know.

GetMedFocus Tip #5

Tell GetMedFocus What Has Changed

New medication, changed dose, new symptom, diagnosis, or specialist? Record what changed and, when possible, when it changed. Those details help create a clearer picture over time.

GetMedFocus Tip #6

Your Privacy Matters

Learn how GetMedFocus uses a unique access token instead of a traditional username and password, why you should save your token somewhere you control, and what happens after 90 days of profile inactivity.
