QR Code Integration for Lab Software
Available todaySamLab supports QR codes for sample tracking and on printed reports, so specimens and results can be looked up or verified with a quick scan. QR generation and scanning run offline-first with the barcode module. See the QR workflows live at a demo.
The detail
A QR code on a printed report lets a patient reach their report on a phone without a portal login. The scannable link resolves to the report rather than to a general site, and it is the part of the report a patient is most likely to actually use.
How it is set up
- 1
Enable the QR on the report template.
- 2
The printed report carries a code resolving to that specific report.
- 3
The patient scans it with any phone camera — no app, no account.
Questions labs ask
Does the patient need to log in?+
No. The code resolves through a token rather than an account, which is the difference between a patient using it and a patient giving up.
Is that secure?+
The link is unguessable rather than public-by-search, and the token addresses one report. Consider who you hand a printed report to — the paper and the link carry the same exposure.
Does it need cloud sync?+
A link that resolves from a phone needs the report to be reachable, so yes — this is one of the features that depends on the cloud tier rather than working purely offline.
