Health passports were developed to help patients better communicate their needs with medical staff by allowing people to record details about their disability or health condition. They are sometimes known as a communication passport, healthcare passport or a hospital passport and can be digital or on paper.

We reviewed the evidence to see if they met their aims. The literature we found tended to focus on describing the passports rather than evaluating their effectiveness.
