What should be on a PODS - Part 4

How should we tell patients about danger signals to watch out for?

-        -   Guidelines in a timeline if the patient feels a certain way on a certain day, they should do x 

-         -  Include visuals of possible symptoms and what to do if have them which may include multiple steps such as first take meds and if that doesn’t work go to hospital

-         -  Traffic light symptoms - green are normal, yellow are minor, red go straight to the ER

-          - How feel now correlated to how the symptom may change and get worse and what to do if it does

-          

      

What about reporting on symptoms in general? 

-          Should we include a self-care log for patients to record symptoms

o   With names and pics of possible symptoms

o   With a visual rating scale
