Privacy note: QR codes in healthcare should NEVER contain personal data directly. They link to a secure page (HTTPS) where the patient authenticates separately. yLink.pro provides HTTPS links by default.
We implemented yLink.pro QR codes in all 12 treatment rooms. Each chair has a small QR on the wall. Patients scan and see: upcoming appointments, treatment plan, invoices, and post-procedure instructions. Phone calls dropped 56% in the first month.
