It has been suggested that QR codes \u201cwill be one of the biggest contributors to healthcare\u201d and that numerous hospitals around the country have already developed QR codes in their algorithms.<a href=\"#_edn1\">[1]<\/a> For example, QR codes can be added onto a patient\u2019s wristband, and with a single scan, the doctor can immediately access up-to-date information about the patient (medication prescribed, timings of medication, list of allergies, etc.). QR codes at hospitals also provides a smooth checkout experience for both the patient and the hospital, keeping operations running smoothly and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This idea is further highlighted by author Shailendra Sinhasane in her blog post entitled, \u201cHow Healthcare Providers are Using QR Codes to Enhance Patient Outcomes\u201d. Sinhasane informs readers that QR codes, \u201ccan reduce medical errors, enhance administration, save time and allow doctors to concentrate on their patients.\u201d<a href=\"#_edn2\">[2]<\/a> Sinhasane also highlights the versatility of the QR code throughout the healthcare sector, most notably within: healthcare marketing, patient identity management, patient health\/medical information, medical equipment information, and drug safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The adoption of QR codes to streamline a hospitals workflow, improve patient outcome, and save time\/cost is a no-brainer, one which will be seen in large proportions in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\">[1]<\/a> Choudhary, Sneh Ratna. \u201cWhy 2021 Is the Year of QR Codes.\u201d <em>Beaconstac RSS<\/em>, 24 Dec. 2020, blog.beaconstac.com\/2019\/02\/why-2019-is-the-year-of-qr-codes\/.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref2\">[2]<\/a> Sinhasane , Shailendra. \u201cHow Healthcare Providers Are Using QR Codes to Enhance Patient Outcomes?\u201d <em>Mobisoft Infotech<\/em>, 25 Nov. 2020, mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/blog\/qr-codes-to-enhance-patient-outcome\/.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog is the final in our series, focusing on how QR codes are becoming an increasingly vital part of our daily lives.&nbsp; Given the novel coronavirus and other healthcare concerns, we\u2019ll continue to see QR code use surge in healthcare \u2013 from patient wristbands to (potentially!) traveler\u2019s vaccine passports.
