QR-Code Based Hospital Systems for Healthcare in Turkey
Vassilya Uzun · 2016
Our system consists of QR-codes placed in various places of the hospital and QR-code reader applications, installed on smartphones or tablets, which scan the QR-codes in order to obtain vast amount of information. Moreover, several copies of the QR-code are produced for patients admitted into the hospital. The QR-code is used wherever the identification of the patient is required. Furthermore, we introduce the system accessing the medical information network in Turkey by utilizing QR Identity Tag. The QR Code Identity Tag allows its members to be able to control their own Emergency Health Record such as carrying the information on themselves or editing them. We chose QR-code because it is a cost-efficient solution, which is of importance for developing countries such as Turkey.
