FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR HEALTHCARE WORKERS
How can attending doctors ensure that
the information entered by Rescue Me / Lifesaver owners is
accurate and current?

attending doctor to filter the information for accuracy and
currency. As with a verbal history taking where the

their professional judgment with regards to the accuracy and
relevancy of the information contained within the Personal
Medical History Records.
Owners can request for the assistance of their family doctor
to enter the medical information for them. The owners can then
enter the information into their records at a later date if
the doctor is not free to do so immediately, or just leave the
LifeSaver at the office and have the staff fill it in,
afterwards the owner can change the password to make sure
unauthorized usage is impossible.
