03Why is it important to use and scan QR codes in a care home?
QR codes are important in care homes because they provide staff with a complete picture of each resident at the simple touch of a smart device camera button. They increase efficiency, save time and provides clear evidence that carers have carried out their duties towards the residents and when. They also add an extra layer of digital protection for sensitive and confidential data around medical treatments, medication dosages etc.
