Who this printable is for

People who use more than one patient portal, caregivers, families coordinating multiple clinics, older adults, college students, and anyone who wants portal names and record locations organized without printing passwords.

Why this may matter in an emergency

Important paperwork and contact details often live in different places: wallets, portals, phones, binders, pharmacies, clinic records, insurance cards, device folders, and family memory.

A concise printable can help a family member, caregiver, urgent care team, ER team, EMS team, or trusted helper find the right contact or source document faster without pretending to be the source document.

Patient portal handoff notes

Use portal handoff notes to help a trusted helper know which clinic system has which information. Do not print passwords, medical-record interpretations, or security-unsafe instructions.

  • Which portal belongs to which clinic, hospital system, specialist, or pharmacy
  • What may be found there, such as visit summaries, lab results, medication lists, messages, immunization records, or discharge paperwork
  • Where login recovery details are stored safely, such as a password manager or sealed household document location
  • Who can help request records if portal access is unavailable

Where to keep it

Keep copies where trusted helpers know to look, such as a home emergency folder, caregiver binder, go-bag, wallet or purse, refrigerator copy if appropriate, equipment folder, or with a trusted family contact.

If the sheet may be visible to visitors, use locations and contact notes instead of sensitive numbers, passwords, door codes, or unnecessary private details.

When to update it

Review the sheet when contacts, cards, portal names, pharmacy details, doctors, medications, allergies, equipment, documents, caregiver roles, or record locations change.

It may also be worth reviewing after a hospital discharge, new diagnosis, new device, insurance change, pharmacy change, new caregiver, travel plan, or major household update.

Privacy and safety notes

Share only what is useful for emergency organization and handoff. Avoid printing passwords, security answers, full Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, door codes, or unnecessary sensitive details.

Printable sheet versus digital YourEMR profile

Helpful terms

  • Patient portal: A secure website or app from a clinic, hospital, insurer, or health system where health information may be available.
  • Login recovery: The process or safe location for recovering account access, without printing passwords on the sheet.
  • Record request: A request to a provider or system for copies of records when portal information is incomplete or unavailable.

Portal Backup details to record

Use short entries copied from current records, labels, cards, portals, folders, and trusted caregiver notes. Leave out anything that would be unsafe on a visible printed page.

  • Portal names, clinic or hospital systems, doctor or specialist contacts, portal support phone numbers, and record types that may be available there
  • Where login recovery information is kept, without printing usernames, passwords, security answers, or one-time codes
  • Caregiver contact, emergency contact, record request note, and where printed or digital backup records are kept
  • A reminder that YourEMR can organize selected emergency details but does not replace patient portals or official medical records
