The Key Benefits of Nurse Checks

MedicAlert is the first and only medical ID service where Registered Nurses check every new and updated record. This is just one of the reasons why 95% of our members renew their membership every year. Here are some reasons why this check is vital:

Documentation

The nurse will discuss with you any scanned documents that may be useful to add - such as health management or care plans, hospital discharge letters, implant information or Advance Decisions.

Clarity

Our nurses are able to ensure all your medical information is in a format that is clear and easy to understand in an emergency.

Spotting Any Gaps

Our nurses know what they would expect to see with regard to certain conditions and medications, so would spot any errors or omissions to ensure your record is complete.

Prioritisation

The Registered Nurse will ensure your most vital information is prioritised and included on the disc of your medical ID jewellery.

Most importantly, you can speak to one of our Registered Nurses directly. But, rest assured, if they spot anything about your record that they would like to discuss with you, they will contact you straight away.

A Real Life Example of a Nurse Check

Michael, a long-time MedicAlert member with type 2 diabetes, takes medications to manage his blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Recently, he updated his record to include rivaroxaban, a blood thinner.

This update triggered a nurse check. The nurse reached out and learned that Michael had been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and had suffered a recent stroke. These critical details were added to his record, ensuring accurate medical information in an emergency. The nurse also confirmed that Michael carried an anticoagulant alert card for added safety.
Example of an update to a members medical record

To ensure critical information is always accessible, the nurse advised Michael to update his medical ID jewelry to include: type 2 diabetes, stroke, atrial fibrillation, on rivaroxaban.

While Michael’s diabetes management follows NICE Guidelines, the nurse check ensured that vital details were added to his record—details that could be lifesaving in an emergency. That’s why every MedicAlert record is reviewed at creation and with every update, helping keep you safe when it matters most.
