QR codes for clinics and medical practices

Put a QR code on the reception desk that opens your new patient form, and one on the door that opens online booking. If your booking system or hours change, you change the link. The signs stay up.

The Free plan needs no credit card. Static codes are free on every plan.

How clinics and practices use QR codes

Each code opens a page you already have. No patient information goes through the code.

New patient forms on the patient's phone

A sign in the waiting room opens the new patient form in your practice system. Patients fill it in on their own phone.

Check-in from the waiting room

If your practice software has a check-in page, put a code for it at the entrance. If you change software later, change the link.

Online booking after hours

A code on the door and on appointment cards opens your online booking page, for people who arrive after hours.

Up-to-date opening hours

Point the door sign at your opening hours page. When the hours change for a holiday, update the page.

Save the practice's contact details

A contact card code on appointment cards saves the practice phone, address and email to the patient's phone.

Directions to the right entrance

A location code on letters and reminder cards opens directions in the patient's maps app. Handy when the entrance is round the back.

Links to the systems you already run

Most of these are links to systems you already use.

  • Website, for booking and forms

    Opens your booking page, new patient form or patient portal. The form stays in your own system. The code only takes people to it.

Careful with patient information

A code opens a page and does nothing more. Health details stay in the systems you already use for them.

  • For each scan we record the time, approximate location and device type. We don't record names or IP addresses
  • Forms, check-in and patient portals stay in your practice system. The code only opens them
  • A printed code opens the same page for everyone, so don't point one at anything personal to a single patient

Privacy and setup questions

All questions

Is patient information stored in the QR code?

No. The code opens the page you chose, such as your booking page. Anything the patient types goes into that system, not into the code and not to us.

What do you record when someone scans a code?

The time, approximate location (country, region and city), device, operating system, browser and language. We don't store IP addresses or set cookies, and we don't know who the person is.

What if we change booking software?

Change the code's link to the new booking page. The printed signs, cards and letters stay the same.

Can a code open a different page outside opening hours?

Yes, on Pro and Business. A schedule can open online booking during opening hours and your after-hours information at other times. On other plans the code opens one page, which you can change by hand.

Do patients need an app to scan?

No. iPhone and Android cameras read QR codes. Print the web address or phone number next to the code as well, for anyone who would rather not scan.
