Looks like a small scanner + printer running a small minimalistic RTOS would be a good solution.

Ok now you have a park of 200 of those devices to handle. And now you move a patient across a service or to another hospital and then....

Reality is complex.

Oh yes. This would be a contingency measure, just to keep the record in a human readable form while requiring little manual labor. Printed codes could be scanned later into Epic and, if you need to transfer the patient, tear the paper and send it with them.
