ABSTRACT:
Self-contained examination guide and information storage apparatus comprising a flat rectangular enclosure having a front panel with first display arrays along side edges of the front panel associated with a plurality of general patient examination categories, and an LCD centrally positioned on the front panel and configured to comprise a plurality of individually controllable display segments. A microprocessor-based controller includes a light pen for reading bar codes on the enclosure front panel and thereby selecting among the general examination categories. A microcontroller memory has prestored sets of specific examination indicia associated with each of the general examination categories, and is responsive to the category-selection process for retrieving from memory a specific set of examination indicia associated with selected general examination category. The light pen is then employed to scan bar code arrays adjacent to the specific examination indicia at each LCD segment for identifying specific indicia of interest and loading corresponding indicia information into microcontroller memory. Information so stored may be selectively downloaded to a central computer for processing and generation of records for the patient files.
