Patient Card & Verified Documents

A patient card with the hospital’s band, the file number, the photo and a QR. Certificates and birth and death notifications carry the same QR. Anyone who scans it reaches a public page that says whether the document is still valid — and nothing else.

How to

Issue and print a patient card

  1. On the patient form click Issue card; a verification number and QR are created.
  2. Print card opens the PDF: band, hospital name, photo, name, MRN, sex and age, the QR and “scan to verify”.
  3. Re-issuing a card (lost, damaged) revokes the previous one: the old QR answers “not valid” from that moment.

Verify a document someone presents

  1. Scan the QR with any phone camera; the page at /verify/<code> opens.
  2. It shows the facility, the kind of document, the name it was issued to, its number and the date — and Valid or Not valid.
  3. No clinical data is on the page, so it can be shown to an employer, a school or a registry office.

Revoke a card

  1. On the patient form, Revoke card and give the reason.
  2. A card is revoked automatically when the patient is archived or marked deceased.

See everything the hospital has issued

  1. Medical Records › Issued Documents lists every card, certificate and notification with its number, the subject, who issued it, how many times it was scanned and whether it is still valid.
  2. Revoke from the list if a paper was issued in error.
