We went over 5 of these benefits in my last video. If you haven’t seen it yet, feel free to stop me here and go watch it. But today I want to go over 4 more! Let’s look at some reasons you should consider implementing QR codes into your practice (if you haven’t already).
1. Healthcare Marketing
The reality is that most healthcare companies aren’t necessarily known for their savvy marketing practices. However, that isn’t to say that these organizations aren’t starting to come around to current trends and technological efforts in the field!
Including QR codes on brochures, leaflets and statements can give visitors and patients of a healthcare facility helpful information such as: Hospital infrastructure. Cleanliness. Success stories. And other methods to treat patients.
The use of QR codes doesn’t stop there. Some other marketing materials that are starting to incorporate QR codes are: Emails. Newsletters & flyers. Online advertisements. Billboards. & Medical publishing's.
Increase patient visits, your profits, and reputation by utilizing these types of marketing.
2. Health Tracking
Tracking health statuses of patients is helpful due to the nature of certain diseases being unreliable. Meaning that any change of health status in this particular patient needs proper documentation and taken into consideration when administering treatments.
Daily tracking of these patients’ health statuses, medications, any dietary instructions, and more is possible through the use of QR codes… not to mention way more convenient than having to dig through files if the patient is seen regularly.
3. Collecting Payments Efficiently
Including QR codes on monthly statements can mean a quicker return rate on payments to your practice, thus strengthening your revenue cycle.
Simply scanning the code can take your patients to your secure business portal, allowing them to then make a payment quickly and without the assistance of your billing team. This in turn frees up time for your staff to focus on more important ventures.
4. Security
Working in the healthcare industry, I’m sure you understand the importance of security when it comes to information. Take the HIPAA Privacy Rule for example! Compliance both in and out of the workplace is one of the most important factors when working with protected health information or PHI.
So how do QR codes come into play? The good news is that as a technology, QR codes are inherently secure. This is because they simply direct users to a landing page, website, or wherever else you intend for them to go. There is no PHI or other sensitive information that can be extracted from the QR code but you can still utilize them for patient communication!
Reducing medical errors, collecting revenue faster, and staying HIPAA compliant are all ways in which QR codes can help your healthcare organization. In a time when everyone is readily on their phone anyway, why not take advantage of it? Incorporating QR codes into any business just makes sense.
