This article describes the practical using of QR codes [1] verification of laboratory studies results.
QR codes have become widely used in all industries as quick identification of information and the implementation of
transactional actions, where encrypted URL allows to quickly scanning by using a smartphone camera. Digitalization
contributes to the transition to the online environment of healthcare, office workers, education and to receive more
data on the spread of diseases, exchange information and quickly receive laboratory results without distortion. The
presented solution is a component of the LIS SmartLAB platform [2], which performs complex automation of
laboratories of the different profiles, observing all work processes to obtain reliable results by direct interaction with
laboratory equipment according to international standards HL7 (Health Level 7 - "Seventh level"), ASTM (American
Society for Testing and Materials - "American Society for Testing Materials") and automatic detection of deviations
from standard values [3]. In 2019, there was a pilot implementation of QR verification of results based on the
laboratory of the Skin and venereal dispensary of the Almaty, the results of which made it possible to introduce
QR codes into other profiles of laboratory diagnostics, such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction), genetics,
microbiology and clinical diagnostics. Now, due to the pandemic, all laboratory results for the detection of RNA of
the COVID-19 virus must contain a QR code to avoid falsification of the results.
