AF Form 1488 is used for which purpose?

• A. AF 438, Medical Care-Third Party Liability Notification
• B. DD Form 153, Federal Medical Care Recovery
• C. Sequestered medical record stamp
• D. AF Form 1488, Daily Log of Patients Treated for Injuries

Answer: (D)

AF Form 1488 is used as the daily recording log for patients treated for injuries. It serves as a running record of injury-related visits in an Air Force medical facility, helping staff track when injuries were treated, what care was provided, and the disposition of each case. This supports safety monitoring and administrative reporting by giving a concise, up-to-date summary of injury treatment activity.

The other forms serve different purposes: the form for third-party liability notification handles liability issues, the federal medical care recovery form deals with reimbursement, and a sequestered medical record stamp is a administrative/record-keeping tool unrelated to daily injury treatment logging.
