1Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Birmingham, GBR.
Abstract:
Skin cancer clinics play a pivotal role in early detection and effective management of skin cancer. Patient education is a key component in achieving these goals. This observational evaluation study explores our experience of the introduction of quick response (QR) code technology to access patient information leaflets (PILs) in skin cancer clinics. We discuss the evidence behind and previous use of QR code technology in clinical settings and highlight the potential educational, cost-saving and environmental benefits. By harnessing the power of QR codes, clinicians can enhance patient education, facilitate informed decision-making, and optimise healthcare resource utilisation.
