Guide - Accessing QR Codes and Public Shareable Links

Generate links and QR codes to direct patients to the correct questionnaires, in the pharmacy, online, or for an appointment.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Step 1 – Access public shareable links

  1. Log in to Empego using an Owner or Pharmacist account.

  2. Click on your name in the top-right corner of the screen.

  3. Select “Public shareable links” from the dropdown menu.

⚠️ Shareable public links are not available for Assistant account types.


Step 2 – Understand the 3 types of links available

Empego now offers three formats of shareable links, based on your usage context:

Link Type

Recommended Use

Format

In-pharmacy link

To be displayed physically in the pharmacy: at the counter, in the waiting area, or the aisles (e.g., smoking cessation, reflux, etc.).

Printable QR code

Outside pharmacy link

To be shared online: website, social media, newsletters, etc.

Shareable URL

Appointment link

To be embedded in an appointment booking platform, allowing patients to complete their questionnaire before the visit.

Shareable URL

Each link type gives you two options:

Copy the URL to the clipboard

Download the corresponding QR code

💡 All links direct patients to a public page associated with your pharmacy, offering a simplified experience.


Step 3 – Generate a general or specific link

Option A: General link to the patient home page

  • Allows the patient to search for their chief complaint using a search bar.

Select the desired link type: in-pharmacy, outside pharmacy, or appointment.

Option B: Specific link for a consultation reason

  • Use the search bar to enter the desired reason (e.g., urinary tract infection, smoking cessation).

  • Click on the corresponding result.

  • Empego will automatically generate the three types of links for that reason:

    • In-pharmacy link (printable QR code)

    • Outside pharmacy link (URL for website or social media)

    • Appointment link (to include in booking confirmations or reminders)

✅ These links allow patients to access the correct questionnaire directly, bypassing the home page.
