Upon entering the Hand, Microsurgery, and Ankle Surgery ward of 215 Hospital, the QR codes displayed on the walls have caught the attention of many patients and their families, who promptly take out their phones to scan them. "When I was first admitted, I just couldn't remember the ward environment. Later, I scanned the QR code, which provided detailed information about the ward environment, functional exercises, and more. Everything was explained clearly. Just by scanning, I can learn and even share the information with my family," said Patient Zhang, giving a thumbs-up as she spoke.

To make it easier for patients and their families to learn about the ward environment and related disease knowledge, the Hand, Microsurgery, and Ankle Surgery ward has introduced an innovative service initiative. By integrating departmental information, health knowledge, and other content, the ward has created its own educational videos and compiled them into versatile QR code materials. With just a scan, patients and families can access the health education resources they need.

The QR codes cover a wide range of content, including admission and discharge procedures, medical insurance processes, ward environment introductions, fall prevention, pre-operative education, and post-operative functional exercises. The materials are presented with illustrations and simple explanations, making them engaging and easy to understand. This approach allows patients and their families to read, save, and share the information conveniently, effectively addressing issues such as the inconvenience of preserving paper-based materials, the monotony of traditional education methods, and the limited effectiveness of patient comprehension.

"Although I'm older, I'm quite adept with WeChat and TikTok. This method of scanning QR codes to learn about health is excellent and very convenient!" said Patient Xu with a smile.

In recent years, the Hand, Microsurgery, and Ankle Surgery ward has adhered to the principles of attentive service and warm care, continuously innovating its nursing practices. Building on a solid foundation of basic nursing care, the ward has introduced various specialized initiatives, such as enhanced recovery, pain management, and deep vein thrombosis prevention, to deliver professional and compassionate nursing services.
