Comments

Since their development in 1994, Quick Response (QR) codes have been used for multiple purposes. QR coding was developed in Japan by Denso Wave as a scannable image that could hold up to 20% more information than a conventional bar code. When a QR code is scanned by a mobile device (Smart phone, phone with camera, tablet, etc.), it prompts the device to open a webpage, link to a video, send a text message, display an image or text and/or make a telephone call. It is, essentially, a “pictographic hyperlink that can be imbedded in the physical environment.” The interactive potential of QR codes makes them an ideal method for patient and provider education. This presentation will describe a doctoral-level experience for students that focused on the creation of resource guides using QR coding. Application of this practicum has implications both in the classroom and in the clinical environment.
