The Caregiver Identification Tool is a practical worksheet designed to identify and formalize a patient's caregiving team.
This tool is designed to guide a conversation with the patient and/or caregiver. It provides prompts to gather key details about household members, frequent visitors, and financial or legal assistance needs, ensuring the right support is in place.
This tool allows health care teams to define and understand caregiver roles, spot gaps in care, and connect caregivers with essential resources. It also serves as a structured document for patient charts, improving care coordination and engagement with the right people at the right time.
