QR codes for medical and dental practices
Shorter queues at reception, fewer calls about the way in, and patients who tell you how the visit went.
Medical and dental practices use QR codes for check-in at reception, directions on appointment letters, patient feedback after the visit and contact cards for the practice. Directions and contact codes work as free fixed codes. Check-in and feedback forms change over time, so they suit editable codes that keep the printed signs in place.
Checked in before the phone rings
A sign at reception. Patients scan and check in on their own phone in seconds.
Where codes work in a practice
Reception
A check-in code at the desk lets patients sign in on their own phone while the receptionist answers the phone.
Appointment letters
A directions code pinned to the right entrance saves late arrivals, especially on large sites with several doors.
After the visit
A short feedback form in the waiting room shows what patients notice: waiting times, signage, the tone at the desk.
Fixed or editable for practices
-
Fester QR-Code (statisch)
Keep directions and contact card codes fixed. They are free, need no account and the entrance and phone number rarely move.
-
Bearbeitbarer QR-Code (dynamisch) Unsere Empfehlung für diesen Zweck
Make check-in and feedback codes editable, so you can switch forms without reprinting the signs. Starter is $9 a month with 50 editable codes.
Worked example: a three-chair dental practice
- Check-in
- A sign at reception opens a two-field check-in form, and the desk sees each arrival in one list.
- Letters
- Appointment letters carry a directions code to the side entrance with step-free access.
- Feedback
- A card in each treatment room asks how the visit went, and the team reads the answers every Friday.
Getting started
Pick the busiest moment
For most practices that is reception in the morning. Start with a check-in code there.
Keep forms short
Ask only what you need on the day. Keep medical questions in your practice software, not in a public form.
Print clear signs
Large codes at eye height, with one line saying what the scan does and a paper option beside it.
Fragen und Antworten
Bevor Sie drucken
- Ist das kostenlos?
- Feste Codes sind kostenlos: Erstellen Sie so viele Sie möchten, laden Sie ein PNG ohne Anmeldung herunter und erhalten Sie jedes weitere Format und Druckdateien mit einem kostenlosen Konto. Bearbeitbare Codes gibt es mit einem Tarif, einem Pass, Keep-alive oder der 14-tägigen Testphase.
- Kann ich den Link nach dem Druck ändern?
- Ja, mit einem bearbeitbaren Code. Er enthält einen Kurzlink, den Sie steuern: Sie können den gedruckten Code jederzeit auf ein neues Ziel richten, und der nächste Scan öffnet die neue Seite. Ein fester Code behält den Link, mit dem er erstellt wurde.
- Kann ich meine eigene Domain nutzen?
- Ja. Eine eigene Domain ist in Pässen, ab Starter und während der Testphase enthalten. Starter umfasst eine Subdomain, zum Beispiel go.ihremarke.de, Hauptdomains gibt es ab Pro.
- Was passiert, wenn ich nicht mehr zahle?
- Bearbeitbare Codes funktionieren bis zum Ende des bezahlten Zeitraums, und nach einer fehlgeschlagenen Zahlung funktionieren alle Codes noch 14 Tage weiter. Schalten Sie Codes innerhalb von 12 Monaten wieder ein. Feste Codes funktionieren, solange ihre Links funktionieren.
Can patients check in with a QR code?
Yes: the code opens a short check-in form on the patient's phone. Keep it to name and appointment time, and offer the desk as before.
Is a feedback form suitable for health information?
Keep feedback about the visit, such as waiting time and signage. Ask nothing about health in a general form tool.
Where should a directions code point on a hospital site?
At the exact entrance the patient needs, pinned on the map, not the site's main address, which often leads to the wrong door.
Do patients need an app?
No. The phone's camera opens the form or map in the browser or the map app, with nothing to install.
What does it cost for a small practice?
Directions and contact codes are free. Editable check-in and feedback codes start with a 14-day trial with no card, then Starter is $9 a month.
