　　　2. When we give labels for a drawing, there are some guidelines to follow:

a)      Draw a straight line with a pencil and ruler from the part that you want to label.

b)      Label lines must touch the part of the drawing being labeled.

c)      The line must be parallel to the bottom of your page.

d)      Write the names for each part neatly underneath each other.

　　　3. Label the drawing of the flowering plant using these rules.

　　　4. Write the labels on the left in the space provided.

　　　5. Use the following labels:

　　　　　　　•    root

Evaluation and implementation of QR Code Identity Tag system for Healthcare in Turkey

ABSTRACT 

For this study, we designed a QR Code Identity Tag system to integrate into the Turkish healthcare system. 

This system provides QR code-based medical identification alerts and an in-hospital patient identification system. 

Every member of the medical system is assigned a unique QR Code Tag; to facilitate medical identification alerts, the QR Code Identity Tag can be worn as a bracelet or necklace or carried as an ID card. 

Patients must always possess the QR Code Identity bracelets within hospital grounds.

These QR code bracelets link to the QR Code Identity website, where detailed information is stored; a smartphone or standalone QR code scanner can be used to scan the code.

The design of this system allows authorized personnel (e.g., paramedics, firefighters, or police) to access more detailed patient information than the average smartphone user: emergency service professionals are authorized to access patient medical histories to improve the accuracy of medical treatment. 

In Istanbul, we tested the self-designed system with 174 participants. 

To analyze the QR Code Identity Tag system’s usability, the participants completed the System Usability Scale questionnaire after using the system.
