Abstract: Disclosed is a method of streamlining the intake registration of a patient at a healthcare provider facility. A secure, online database is provided via web-based interface portal for a patient to enter and store the patient's private health information (PHI) data. A unique readable scanning code, such as a QR code, is assigned to the patient's stored data. The scanning code is placed on items that may be carried by the patient, such as, wallet-sized cards, pendants, stickers, or via display on the patient's mobile devices or PC devices. The healthcare provider facility is provided with a scanner to read the QR code. The patient controls access to the PHI data via levels of security set by the patient. Upon entering the healthcare provider facility, the patient's QR code is scanned, and the permitted level(s) of PHI data are automatically populated into the facility's electronic health record system(s).
