QR codes for hospitals and clinics

Healthcare navigation is stressful. QR on signage can open maps and plain-language prep—without replacing triage or emergency protocols.

Built for healthcare and medical admin teams.

Where this shows up

  • patient forms
  • department navigation
  • follow-up resources

Roll it out

  1. Work with compliance on what may be linked from public posters.
  2. Never put sensitive PHI in open URLs.
  3. Offer large-type alternatives and staffed help.
  4. Use dynamic QR when campus construction changes paths.

Clinical contexts

  • Parking structures with elevator maps.
  • Discharge folders with medication education—not PHI.
  • Flu campaign posters with scheduling.

Questions people ask

HIPAA?
Marketing pages must avoid leaking patient status; use generic education.
Accessibility?
WCAG-compliant pages and human help for those who can’t scan.
