Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for documenting and communicating emergency and medical information specific to an individual, between the individual, care givers, and health care providers in an accurate, concise, and easy-to-use format to help insure more timely, safe, and effective health care and to avoid unnecessary delays and unsafe and incomplete medical care due to a lack of communication and information. Additionally, the information is documented at a single site, requires no specialized machinery to imprint or to read, is portable, inexpensive, and updated continuously by the individual user, care givers, and health care providers. The documentation and communication tool is to be taken by the individual to all physician visits, emergency room visits, hospital admissions, pharmacy visits, and is to be attached to the refrigerator inside the individual's home when not in use for easy access in emergency situations.

Abstract: The medication compliance organizer takes the form of a magnetized panel that may be conveniently mounted on the front of an appliance such as a refrigerator, or alternatively conventionally hung on a wall or other suitable surface. The organizer includes a plurality of day and time based containers for organizing and releasably holding the medications, typically four vials in vertical columns for each day of the week, one for each prescription time interval, i.e. morning, noon, evening and bedtime. The individual containers are sufficiently large to handle the varying medication formats from tablets, elixirs and patches. The organizer further includes an open tray for holding other medications and peripheral supplies, a reminder area for writing reminders regarding specific medications or activities, and medical forms for reference by the patient, care givers and health care personnel.
