Implementação de QR codes para assistência na rotina de exames de raios X em uma clínica de diagnóstico por imagem

Abstract

Diagnostic X ray is one of the most requested exams in clinics and hospitals, with its practicality being one of its main advantages. Although it is a more affordable technique compared to other types of diagnostic imaging, only qualified professionals should operate the equipment, as it uses ionizing radiation to produce images. Therefore, this study aims to develop and implement protocols for conventional radiological exams, organized in a clear and objective manner, and make them available through QR Codes in a diagnóstico imaging clinic. The proposal arises from the need to standardize and optimize access to exam routines, aiming at the correct positioning of patients to avoid repetition and unnecessary exposure to radiation. The use of QR Codes allows professionals, through cell phones, tablets, and computers with internet access, to quickly access informatoion and images of ideal patient positioning directly in the examination rooms. In this way, the application of these resources can contribute to improving the quality of care, increasing efficiency in procedures, preventing errors and repetitions, and strengthening the theoretical and practical knowledge of radiologic technologists.
