Keep a simple timeline
A useful timeline includes the incident date, first symptoms, each visit, referrals, diagnostic tests, and major changes in the care plan.

Clinical records explain the health picture. Administrative records explain consent, contact details, billing, and authorized access.
Keeping those categories distinct makes it easier to find the right document when a question comes up.
