A rectangular enclosing container with dimensions to accommodate a typical hospital chart is open at the top for insertion and removal of the chart, and has an arcuate slot in the front face to facilitate access to the chart. From the top rear face of the container extend one or more means, such as hooks, for attaching the container to a patient bed, gurney or stretcher. The container is fabricated from a hard, non-porous material, such as plastic, that is wipe-down cleanable. The material forming the container is opaque or darkly translucent so as to protect the privacy of the patient's medical data. The attachment means assures that the chart will always be readily accessible, and the access slot provides for easy insertion and removal of the chart from the container. The non-porous, wipe-down cleanable surfaces of the receptacle prevent the spread of pathogens during the handling and transport of the patient chart. An alternate design allows the front page of the chart to be viewed without removing the chart from the receptacle, thereby allowing a physician, nurse or other hospital personnel to check the patient's name, status or other information quickly, without handling the chart itself. |
