Blockchain For Secure and Proper Management of Medical Data and Records

Blockchain recently began to grow in the healthcare sector. A low level of health sensitive information can lead to situations where timely communication is not available, with serious health consequences. Besides, as patient involvement in healthcare grows, there is a growing need for patients to access and manage their data. Confidentiality in the healthcare industry refers to the” professional obligation”; the World Health Organization can access patient records or exchange information to carry that information with confidence. Managing electronic health data presents different challenges for compliance, ethical concerns, and ultimately the quality of care. Access to patient medical records in a hospital software package should be by a physician/conservative team. The abuse of digital signatures on information based on Blockchain allows mass access to control the provision and maintain health records' safety. Besides, the healthcare industry's public and stakeholders may be part of the Blockchain, reducing payment fraud. Applications can be designed to administer and exchange stable, open, and unbreakable audit processes by systemic fraud using this technology. This paper examines the literature to describe important challenges with different health-care stakeholders, as well as the capabilities of blockchain technology to address those concerns.
