  • Patent number: 4869531
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for documenting the findings of a physical examination. A group of pre-printed stickers are provided having an anatomical designation (either graphic or text) on the front surface of the sticker and an adhesive and peel-off back sheet on the rear of the sticker. The stickers are positioned in a dispenser with at least a portion of the anatomical designation visible from the sticker to facilitate selection of the desired stickers during the examination. The physician or patient can mark directly on the sticker to indicate the location, size and shape of any abnormality, and the back sheet is then removed and the sticker attached directly onto the patient's progress report. The system is an inexpensive method for fully documenting all findings from an examination in a minimum period of time and provides a permanent record which facilitates retrieval of the desired information from the report and minimizes the volume of patient records.
