How I Use Mind Mapping for Patient Care

I’ve recently started using mind mapping to organize patient care plans, and it’s been a game changer. Not only does it help me visualize connections between symptoms and treatments, but it makes it easier to communicate with my team. Has anyone else tried this technique? Would love to hear how it’s worked for you.

Mind mapping sounds great! I started using it a few months ago and it really helps in seeing the bigger picture, especially during chaotic shifts. But I found that sometimes it can get cluttered if too many details are included. Do you use specific colors or symbols to differentiate between symptoms and treatments?
