The method of the present invention comprises placing a test result printout on a work sheet having a grid thereon comprising a vertical and horizontal matrix of columns and rows. The rows are sized and spaced to register with the individual indicia in the column of indicia on the test printout. After the indicia on the test printout are aligned and registered with the horizontal rows on the work sheet, the indicia are transcribed from the printout to the work sheet. A data slip is then laid over the work sheet. The data slip has a horizontal row of boxes sized and spaced to register with a group of columns on the work sheet. The data slip is positioned so that the row of boxes is adjacent one of the horizontal rows on the work sheet and is registered with the columns within said group. The indicia in the columns are then transcribed from the columns to the boxes. Finally, the data slips are adhered to a patient chart in a shingled fashion so that the boxes of each data slip are exposed on the lower shingled edge of the data slip.
