QR / Barcode Check-in:
On arrival, patient scans their code at a kiosk or reception tablet.
Their appointment is automatically marked as “arrived.”
Updated details from the app sync with the provider’s system instantly.
Appointment History & Reminders – past and upcoming visits easily visible.
2. Healthcare Provider Features
Calendar Management:
Set available time slots (daily, weekly, custom).
Accept / reject / reschedule requests.
Auto-Sync with Patient Records: If a patient updates their info (address, phone, insurance), it reflects in the provider’s system immediately.
Check-In Dashboard: Staff see who has checked in via barcode in real time.
Reduced admin load – less paperwork and less verbal exchange at reception.
How the Barcode / QR Check-In Works
After booking, the patient gets a unique QR code linked to that appointment.
At the clinic/hospital, there’s a scanner or tablet kiosk at reception.
Patient scans → system verifies appointment → marks “checked in.”
If any updates were made in the app (address, phone, emergency contact), the system automatically pulls the latest info.
