From paper pile to QR code. Patients forget 80% of verbal discharge instructions within minutes. Paper packets get lost, damaged, or never read. BarMake replaces paper-based discharge with a scannable QR code linking to personalized care plans — structured medications, follow-up appointments, instructional videos, warning signs by severity, and multi-language support. No EHR integration needed. Setup in 5 minutes.

Patient Scans
Personalized care plan on their phone
No more paper piles. Patients leave with a single QR code linking to their full care plan — medications, videos, appointments, and emergency contacts.
Simple by design
Choose a specialty template (orthopedic, cardiac, surgery, maternity, and more) or start from scratch. Configure which sections to include: medications, follow-up appointments, instructional videos, warning signs, emergency contacts, and satisfaction survey.
Enter the patient’s medication list with dosage and warnings, follow-up appointments with calendar download and map links, embed instructional videos, and set warning signs by severity (emergency, urgent, monitor). Add emergency contacts with click-to-call.
Generate a unique QR code for the patient. Print it as a sticker or label, attach it to the discharge packet, and hand it to the patient. They scan with their phone camera to access their full personalized care plan — anytime, anywhere, in their preferred language.
Everything included
Present medications in a clear, structured format with dosage schedules, timing, food interactions, and visual warnings for critical medications. Patients see exactly what to take and when — no more misread handwriting.
List follow-up appointments with date, time, provider, and location. Patients can download calendar events (.ics) and open map directions with a single tap — reducing no-show rates.
Embed wound care tutorials, physical therapy exercises, medication guides, and recovery instructions as videos. Patients watch at their own pace, replay as needed, and share with caregivers.
Display warning signs organized by severity: emergency (call 911), urgent (contact doctor within hours), and monitor (watch for changes). Color-coded alerts help patients and caregivers react appropriately.
List emergency contacts with click-to-call functionality. The patient’s surgeon, primary care physician, nurse line, and pharmacy are one tap away — no searching through paperwork.
Discharge instructions available in 7 languages (English, Croatian, Slovenian, German, French, Italian, Spanish). Patients and their families read care plans in their preferred language — eliminating language barriers that lead to readmissions.
Track whether patients actually opened and read their discharge instructions. See scan times, section views, video completions, and repeat visits. Identify patients who never scanned — and follow up proactively to prevent readmissions.
Embed a post-discharge satisfaction survey directly in the care plan. Capture feedback on discharge experience, instruction clarity, and staff communication — all before the patient forgets. Data feeds into your quality dashboard.
Why BarMake
Enterprise platforms like SeamlessMD and GetWell cost thousands per month and require deep EHR integration. BarMake gives you QR-powered discharge instructions that work standalone in minutes. Note: BarMake is a general-purpose QR platform, not a certified healthcare IT system.
