QR Codes in Hospitals: Wayfinding, Department Directories, and Patient Family Apps

1. Wayfinding at Junctions

A QR at each corridor junction or lift links to the hospital's interactive map pre-loaded with the current location. Visitors find radiology, cafeteria, or a specific ward without stopping staff.

2. Department Directories

A QR at each department entrance links to the department directory: consultant names, contact numbers, and appointment booking. Patients check in at the right desk.

3. Patient Family Information

A QR in waiting areas links to ward visitor policies, car park instructions, cafeteria hours, and the patient feedback system. Reduces anxiety for relatives by providing clear information.

4. Emergency Wayfinding

QR at emergency routes links to the nearest emergency exit map, muster point, and who to call. Supplementary to required printed emergency notices.
