QR-Code Patient & Specimen Tracking System
BCHPR · deployed in 7 regions of Cameroon · 2023 – present
Operational innovation deployed across 365+ primary health facilities and 25+ GeneXpert laboratories — now under active consideration by Cameroon's National TB Programme as national best practice.
Highlights
- Unique patient QR codes with customisable ID patterns (region-site-sequence) supporting tracking from screening through treatment outcomes.
- REDCap mobile app auto-configuration QR codes — slash device setup from hours to seconds.
- Specimen chain-of-custody codes powering pooled-testing workflows for Viral Load, GeneXpert, and Truenat.
- Region-organised output (A1 / A4 PDFs, PowerPoint decks, Excel batch templates) across 8 regions.
- QR extraction pipeline decodes field-device photos via SharePoint sync, validates ID pattern, and auto-prefills REDCap forms (6–8 fields populated per scan).
- Improved data quality by 60%+ and eliminated transcription errors in patient identification and specimen tracking.
