The Hospital Go Bag Planner™
What to pack, prepare, and know before a hospital stay.
Who this is for
People preparing for a planned hospitalization, and families who want to be better prepared if an unexpected hospital visit occurs. It's for anyone who has thought, "What would I want to have ready if I or someone I love had to go to the hospital quickly?"
What this helps you do
Hospital stays can happen quickly, and important information is often scattered across phones, wallets, medicine cabinets, patient portals, and family members. The planner helps someone think through what information and essentials may be useful to have ready before they are under pressure. It helps you think through areas such as: - Important personal and emergency information - Current medications - Allergies - Insurance information - Emergency contacts - Medical-provider information - Practical hospital essentials - Questions the patient or family may want to ask - Information a family member may need if the patient cannot easily provide it
What's inside
A Hospital Go Bag Planner dashboard you can return to as your situation changes, with practical tools to help you start in ten minutes, capture a baseline of important information, hold the questions that keep you up at night, track what you're waiting for, and run a quick door-check before you leave. Your Side by Side™ companion keeps your answers, notes, and essentials in one private place you can come back to anytime.
You may not know you need this yet
Most people start gathering hospital information only after they're already under pressure, and the details that matter most are often the hardest to find in the moment.
Questions This Guide Helps You Think Through
This guide helps you think through questions such as: - What information would someone need if I couldn't answer questions myself? - Do I have an accurate medication list ready? - Who should be contacted if I'm admitted? - What should I bring with me? - What information will my family need? - What questions do I want to remember to ask? These are examples of the types of questions the guide helps organize, not a complete list, and not the locked worksheets inside the guide.
When Professional Help May Be Important
Medical decisions, symptoms, treatment choices, medications, discharge instructions, and other clinical matters should be discussed with qualified healthcare professionals. This planner helps you organize information and questions: it does not tell you what medical decisions to make.
Crisis Navigations provides educational and organizational guidance. The Hospital Go Bag Planner™ is not medical advice and does not replace guidance from your physician, hospital, pharmacist, or other qualified healthcare professional.
