A well-organized medical file helps a specialist understand the case efficiently. Begin with a one-page summary of the diagnosis, current symptoms, major treatments, allergies, and the questions you want answered.
Recommended records
- Recent consultation notes and discharge summaries
- Laboratory results in chronological order
- Imaging reports plus original DICOM files when available
- Pathology reports and slides when relevant
- A current medication and allergy list
Translate key documents when possible, but keep the original files. A coordinator can help identify which records are most relevant before submission.
