Integrating a QR reader into Frontlinesms

[asvisva]

Hello guys, am still new to this forum. We want to integrate the use of FrontlineSMS for chronic patient follow-up in peripheral health facilities but wanted a QR reader installed on a cellphone to pick up patient information and then send it to the Frontlinesms form where the nurse will fill in details of investigations needed, medication prescribed , any complications and date of next follow-up. Each patient will have a QR code attached to their chronic card form with their demographic information including date of diagnosis, investigations done and treatment prescribed. Frontlinesms should then send this info to a centralised database. 

We believe this

1. Will enhance patient follow-up

2. Enable tracking of patients nationally as patients who had moved to other parts of the country were deemed lost to follow-up.

Hi Asvisva,

That's a really cool idea. Unfortunately this is not in the current feature set and the dev team are currently not in a position to perform such an integration at the moment . However, it is something of interest that we may want to look into at a later point in time.

Thanks,

Michael.
