    Care plan creation to patient's phone in 20 seconds.

    A scared parent at midnight needs a written answer, not a callback.

    How it works

    Three steps from OR to first calm night at home.

    01

    Pick an ENT template or import your own

    30+ ENT templates

    Pick from 30+ ENT templates: tonsillectomy, septoplasty, sinus surgery, ear tubes, tympanoplasty, thyroidectomy. Or drop in your own protocol PDF. We pull out the structure and brand it.

    02

    Customize pain management and bleeding watch

    20s average

    Edit instructions, prescriptions, milestones, and red-flag warnings (post-op bleeding, dehydration). Your colors and logo are automatic.

    03

    Patient or parent scans QR, follows the plan

    0 downloads

    Hand them a printed QR card at discharge or send to their phone. For pediatric cases, the parent reads. Opens in any browser. No app, no account, no password to remember at 2am.

    Patient View

    What your ENT patient sees.

    Two ways to deliver the same care plan: scanned on a phone or handed to them at discharge. Branded, accessible, and built for recovery, not check-ins.

    Cura · The 11pm questions

    The five questions every ENT patient asks at 11pm.

    These are the real questions Cura answers when your front desk is closed. Each one is grounded in your verified protocols and tagged to where the patient is in recovery.

    Is it normal that I am bleeding on day 7?

    Day 7 to 10 is when tonsillectomy scabs slough. Light blood-tinged saliva is typical. Heavy bright-red bleeding is an emergency; head to urgent care and call your clinic.

    Verified by your clinic
    Day 7 to 10
    When can I breathe through my nose again?

    After septoplasty, congestion peaks at week 1 and clears by week 4. Saline rinses 3 to 4 times daily speed it. No nose blowing for the first 2 weeks.

    Verified by your clinic
    Week 1 to 4
    Why does my throat hurt so much?

    Tonsillectomy pain peaks at day 4 to 6, then improves. Stay on the prescribed schedule even if you feel ok. Cold drinks and soft food only; skip dairy.

    Verified by your clinic
    Day 4 to 6
    Can I fly yet?

    Most sinus and ear surgeries clear flying at week 3 to 4 once swelling settles. Earlier flights risk pressure damage. Confirm with your provider before booking.

    Verified by your clinic
    Week 3 to 4
    Is this ear fullness going to stay?

    Fullness and muffled hearing for 1 to 2 weeks after ear surgery is typical as the canal heals. Persistent fullness past week 4 should be checked at your follow-up.

    Verified by your clinic
    Week 1 to 4

    Every answer is clinic-verified. Cura never invents a medication.

    The Science of Peak Relief

    The 5-star moment lands the first night without pain.

    The peak-end rule (Kahneman, Redelmeier): patients remember a recovery by its emotional peak, not its full length. QR Rx fires the review prompt at 75% of the recovery window, when patients feel the win first hand.

    01·Septoplasty

    “Breathing through both nostrils again.”

    Week 2 of 3
    02·Tonsillectomy

    “Eating ice cream without flinching.”

    Day 8 of 12
    03·Ear tubes

    04·Sinus surgery

    Why ENT

    Built for the recovery your patients fear most.

    Tonsillectomy hurts. Septoplasty is messy. Parents are scared. We give them the answers, written by you.

    01 · Pediatric tonsillectomy

    Help parents through the worst night.

    Day three is when pain peaks. Parents panic. We give them a written hour-by-hour plan: pain meds, hydration, what to call about, what's normal. ER trips drop. Sleep happens.

    02 · Bleeding watch

    Red flags written, not implied.

    Post-tonsil bleed is a real risk through day ten. Patients see exactly what to watch for and exactly when to call. The 'is this a problem' calls go down. The real bleeds get caught fast.

    03 · Sinus surgery hydration

    Saline rinses that actually happen.

    Sinus surgery recovery depends on consistent saline rinses. Patients see the day-by-day schedule with reminders. Compliance goes up. Healing matches the protocol.

    The cost of doing nothing

    What you lose every time a patient (or parent) panics.

    Numbers based on industry averages for an ENT practice. Yours will vary by case mix. The point is the cost is real.

    The evidence

    Structured aftercare isn't a nicety. It's where outcomes and retention are decided.

    The days after a procedure are when patients forget instructions, drift from the plan, and quietly decide whether to come back. The literature on recall, adherence, and retention is consistent, and it points to the same intervention: timely, structured follow-up.

    40–80%1

    of the medical information a patient is given is forgotten almost immediately, and nearly half of what they do retain is recalled incorrectly.

    78%2

    of patients leave with an incomplete understanding of their care and discharge instructions, and most don't realize it.

    30–85%3

    more profit follows from improving customer retention by just 5%. Retention compounds, and the post-procedure window is where it's kept or lost.

    Why it works

    A day-aware care plan closes the recall gap, the patient has the right instruction at the right stage instead of a sheet they lost on day one. It keeps them engaged through the window where complications actually appear, and it gives your team a record of who is on track and who isn't, without anyone making a single phone call.

    Clinical proof point

    It reads what the patient reports, and flags your team

    When a patient checks in with a symptom, the system recognizes whether it matches a known warning pattern for that procedure at that stage, and quietly surfaces them to your in-app inbox with a short, clinic-facing reason. It is a heads-up, not a diagnosis, connecting the dots so your team decides the next move, before it becomes an after-hours call.

    Non-diagnostic by design. The clinic always decides.

    Compared to what you have

    QR Rx vs. the patchwork stack.

    Most clinics run aftercare across email templates, a CRM, a review tool, and a clipboard. Here is what each layer costs you in time, leakage, and missed revenue.

    Frequently asked

    ENT questions, answered straight.

    Will my patients (or parents) actually use a QR code?
    Most adults and most parents have used QR codes at restaurants and pharmacies. They point a phone, type their date of birth, and the plan is on screen in ten seconds. The few who can't get the printed version too.
    Does it work with Nextech, ModMed, Athena, or Epic?
    Nextech and Modernizing Medicine require a guided vendor-approval pilot. Athena, Epic, and other systems can use SMART on FHIR where supported or a QR Rx-approved secure webhook, CSV upload, and self-intake.
    What about pediatric tonsillectomy? Parents are scared.
    Day-by-day instructions written for the parent reading at midnight. Pain control schedule, hydration milestones, red flags (signs of bleeding, dehydration, fever). Parents stop guessing. ER visits drop.
    Is QR Rx HIPAA compliant?
    Yes. BAA at signup. PHI encrypted in transit and at rest. Every view logged. Patients verify with a QR scan, a 6-digit PIN, and date of birth.
    What if a patient calls anyway?
    That's the goal. The 'is this normal' calls drop. The calls you do get are the ones you need: real bleeding, real fever, real signs that need a doctor.
    How long does setup take?
    Under five minutes for the first care plan. Fifteen for the practice (logo, brand color, team, PMS link, starter templates). Most ENT clinics send their first plan on day one.
    Can I customize my surgical protocol?
    Every template is yours to edit. Instructions, prescriptions, milestones, red-flag warnings. Already have your protocols? Drop them in.
    What about a patient without a smartphone?
    Hand them the printed plan. Same content, same instructions, same emergency number.
    Will I see who's reading the plan?
    Yes. The dashboard lists every patient with status: sent, opened, viewing now. Day of recovery, any flagged symptoms. At 5pm your team sees in thirty seconds who hasn't opened their plan.
    What does it cost?
    Nothing. We are picking a small group of clinics to build QR Rx with, and design partners do not pay. No card, no contract, nothing to cancel.

    Send them home with answers. Not a phone number to call at 2am.

    Free for design partners. Unlimited care plans. Built for ENT.
