QR Code on Script

A QR code will appear on the Script (if set up), allowing the Pharmacist to validate the integrity of the Script, mark the items as dispensed, make sure of the authenticity of the document and prevent duplication so that Patients do not take the prescription to multiple pharmacies to be filled.

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that contains information in a machine-readable format. It can store various types of data, such as text, URLs, contact information, or other data types. QR codes are often scanned using a smartphone or other QR code reader, allowing the encoded information to be quickly accessed.
