1. Patient Check-In

A QR at the reception desk links to the check-in page. Patients confirm their arrival, update any medical history changes, and accept the appointment reminder without staff intervention.

2. Medical History Form

New patients scan to complete the medical history and consent form on their phone before their first appointment. Existing patients scan to review and update their records.

3. Treatment Plan Access

After a consultation, a QR on the treatment plan printout links to a detailed digital version with diagrams, alternative treatment options, and cost breakdown. Patients review at home before deciding.

4. Post-Treatment Aftercare

A QR on the aftercare leaflet links to videos demonstrating correct brushing after a filling, orthodontic appliance cleaning, or implant care. Better compliance reduces return visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can patient data be accessed via a QR without authentication?

No. Any patient-specific data must be behind authentication. The QR triggers the login flow for the patient portal.

Should the QR aftercare guide ever expire?

No. Use a permanent URL. Patients may refer back months later for a refresher.
