The Urgent Care Passport is responsible, proactive preparedness.
The Urgent Care Passport — Crucial medical records are often the last things people think to bring when leaving the house or traveling. After all, no one thinks that they may find themselves in need of emergency medical attention.
Some might take precautionary steps and store information electronically, as in their phone or an app. But digital storage poses a risk because access is not always guaranteed when needed.
Like an unanticipated emergency, lost cell phone service, battery, or Internet connection are also something people don’t always expect.
These uncertainties necessitate a new system that addresses the limitations of electronic devices or apps for our critical healthcare information.
No more worrying with the Urgent Care Passport
The solution is the Universal Urgent Care Passport, or UCaP. This simple, comprehensive document is available 24/7 and 100% of the time, regardless of location. It was designed to meet the needs where conventional digital storage falls short.
Unfortunately, unanticipated situations arise anywhere, and lacking the proper documentation has severe consequences during critical moments. When these situations occur, those seeking emergency medical care realize their mistake too late.
Keep your critical health information in a single, secure place.
As the amount of domestic and international travelers increases, more emergency personal, medical rescue teams, and ER in hospitals are dealing with unprepared patients who lack accurate and proper personal or medical information, such as:
-
Name and date of birth
-
Existing medical conditions
-
Medications list
-
Allergies
-
Previous vaccines received
-
Medical and other insurance information, etc.
Absent or missing information is detrimental for both the patient and medical providers as it prolongs finding answers and clearing confusion. These barriers delay essential medical procedures and limit the quality of care the patient receives.
And while the lack of patient information reduces the quality and outcome of healthcare services, it can also increase the cost of the ER visit as well as additional out of pocket expenses or financial contributions.
A trip to the ER is already stressful enough without the added worry caused by missing information. Please don’t add to it with inadequate preparation. Get a UCaP and make it useful to you when you need it the most.
The Urgent Care Passport (UCaP) developed as a solution to alleviate problems caused by missing medical information and records in emergency situations.
The UCaP is an easily accessible analog medical emergency booklet containing critical personal health and forensic information at a glance, available 100% of the time anywhere in the world.
This tool empowers people to take control of their care proactively while removing the guesswork of delivering the right care.
Although the idea for the UCaP began with the need for readily-available critical medical records in emergency settings, having critical personal medical information ready is something everyone should do.
This sign of self-preparedness greatly helps medical assistants deliver the best possible care you deserve in an emergency.
Developed by Medical Professionals
The UCaP consists of two parts:
- Health information
- Forensic information with additional space for miscellaneous records and travel notes.
The content of the UCaP developed after carefully assessing numerous questions commonly asked by healthcare providers in the ER.
Users have the freedom to decide how much, how little, and what kind of information they provide in the UCaP.
The UCaP helps prepare for unexpected situations and works 100% of the time regardless of language barriers thanks to universally-recognizable symbols and content designed to facilitate communication using layman’s terms.
It has undergone extensive sharing, editing, and review from numerous medical and healthcare professionals at leading US institutions, including Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical University in Boston, MA, to formulate the complete version of itself.
The UCaP reflects the proactive global health community’s commitment to developing a comprehensive piece of medical equipment that anyone can use to record personal, medical, and forensic information that is available 24/7 and 100% of the time when needed.
