Kimberly-Clark collaborated with Safe Care Campaign and launched a QR Code Patient Safety Education Program

We were impressed to see what Kimberley- Clarke are doing with QR Codes and love the way they have adaptable PDF s online that can be re branded - What a great way to get a message accross.Kimberly-Clark collaborated with Safe Care Campaign and launched a QR Code Patient Safety Education Program, which aims to provide healthcare facilities and hospitals with free patient care education that they can instantly access at the bedside. For this program, Kimberly-Clark and Safety Care also teamed up with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Patient Channel, and The Joint Commission’s Speak Up(TM) Educational Campaign. The program distributes “Learn How to Be Safe While Receiving Medical Care” posters that feature QR codes to various healthcare facilities throughout the U.S.These free posters contain critical patient safety information that patients and their families or caregivers can access directly when they most need it, without requiring the presence of medical staff or any sort of medical training.Through this Patient Safety Education Program, Kimberly-Clark and the rest of the team hope that they could provide consumers with information that may potentially be life-saving and also support medical care professionals in their efforts at preventing the spread of infection associated with healthcare. They would like to see less number of cases wherein medical errors and mistakes in the delivery of care result to harm and even death among patients, as well as billions of dollars in costs incurred by hospitals.When scanned, the QR codes found on the posters offer patients instant access to nine educational vignettes that are related to the most common patient safety issues in healthcare facilities:1. Insisting on proper hand hygiene from a caregiver2. Preventing an infection when having surgery3. Preventing blood stream infection4. Preventing medication errors5. Preventing an infection when you have a urinary catheter6. Preventing errors during medical care7. Preventing patient falls8. Safety when your loved one is on a ventilator9.

Great execution of a QR code based campaign

  We love to see a QR Based campaign thats for a worthy cause Successful Cause Marketing: It’s About Timing It’s the time of year when great cause marketing campaigns are abundant. From cute displays with cause messaging to point of purchase sales, marketers have tapped in to the holiday spirit of giving.Heinz Our Turn To Serve is a cause marketing that works.  Launched in conjunction with Veterans Day in November, specially branded ketchup bottles were places in restaurants inviting diners to send a text or scan a QR code to send a digital postcard thanking veterans or those currently serving and/or like Heinz on Facebook. For each postcard sent and each like received on Facebook, Heinz will donate $0.57 to the Wounded Warrior Project.Why does this campaign work?It’s about timing. As I sat down in a busy restaurant Sunday afternoon, I spotted this unique bottle. I had time as I waiting for my food, and scanned the QR code to learn more. If this QR code was on a bottle on the shelf or an aisle display in a store, I am not sure I would have taken the time to stop and scan or text. But catch me when I have a few moments of downtime, and I’m in.It’s simple. After scanning the QR code, I was taken to an extremely simple and mobile friendly website that let me send a virtual postcard of gratitude to my sister who is currently serving in Afghanistan (users do not need to know the email address of a veteran or service member to participate). Sending the postcard took less than 60 seconds. It was quick and easy to use and most importantly, mobile friendly.Heinz asked. After sending the postcard, I was asked to make a personal donation to the cause. Too many cause marketers leave out this very important step. If I took the time to send a postcard, I’m interested. Ask for a donation.After three back-to-back businesses asking for support in a cause marketing campaign on Sunday, Heinz Our Turn To Serve was the one that worked. If your company or nonprofit is launching a cause marketing campaign, take note from Heinz and consider ways to make the timing and mobile experience convenient and user-friendly. And don’t forget the ask!Original article taken from http://philanthropyink.com/marketing/successful-cause-marketing-its-abou...
