QR Codes are now an integral part of everyday life and offer a simple way of providing important information digitally. The small codes have become indispensable, particularly in the medical and care sector.
They make everyday nursing and care easier by giving nursing staff and doctors quick access to relevant data. But residents, patients and relatives also benefit from an improved flow of information thanks to QR Codes.
In the following article, we show how QR Codes can be used in nursing homes and elderly care.

QR Codes have significantly improved nursing care in recent years. They facilitate communication between different specialist areas and help to provide important information in a structured way.
The main objective:
As QR Codes can be updated in real time, care information is always up to date - without any time-consuming paperwork.
Every resident or patient in a care home has individual needs and requirements. QR Codes help to manage this information clearly and make it accessible at any time.
Possible applications:
- Dosages, intake times and interactions
- Personal preferences, e.g. for personal hygiene or nutrition
- Physiotherapy and occupational therapy, applications and progress
- Directly available contact persons for relatives or emergency services
- Medical history, medical reports and allergies
- for medical devices in the form of a PDF QR Code
In the past, relatives often played a passive role in care, but today they are a valuable source of support. With QR Codes, they can access relevant information at any time and become more involved in the care process.
A QR Code can also connect relatives to the care home's official channels to follow the latest news and events. A social media QR Code allows relatives to subscribe to the official channels of the care home and stay informed about news and events.
QR Codes for relatives can contain the following information:
General information about the nursing home
Daily routine and visiting times
Profiles of the nursing staff - optionally with short introductory videos
Virtual tours of the facility
Detailed information on therapies and leisure activities
Pastoral care and support services
Hygiene regulations and visiting rules
Opportunity to provide feedback for better support
The great advantage of QR Codes is their versatility. They can be applied to almost any medium, e.g:
With a designer QR Code with logo, the code can be adapted to the corporate design of the facility so that it is immediately recognizable as an official QR Code.
