For instance:

  • Try to schedule your medical appointments, including tests, on one or two days of a week. 
  • Keep track of tests. Preferably get copies of test results and file them in an easy-to-access, safe place. 
  • When ongoing tests are required, find out if you can do them at home or a place close to home.
  • Use email or fax as much as possible.
  • Use a pharmacy that will coordinate when refills are needed so you don't have to constantly think about running out. A pharmacy that reminds you when prescriptions need to be renewed keeps you from scrambling at the last minute.
