Network with other healthcare professionals

When you meet someone new from the healthcare industry, you need a quick way to share contact information. At conferences or networking events, you could display a vCard QR Code on your name badge—a vCard is a digital business card that makes it easy to share and save information.

This allows other healthcare professionals to scan your code with their phones, instantly storing your phone number, email, business address, and social media profiles without needing traditional business cards. It’s a simple, reliable way to ensure you stay connected without your information getting lost or discarded.

Collecting feedback is often overlooked in a clinic’s day-to-day operations, but it’s a vital part of patient engagement and enhancing patient care. By adding a Feedback QR Code to intake forms, business cards, and waiting room literature, patients can complete surveys at their convenience. Their responses are sent directly to your email, providing valuable insights that help you continuously improve the care and experience you provide.
