Enhancing Healthcare: Incorporating Blockchain into Electronic Health Records

Handling large amounts of medical data on a blockchain can be challenging, maintaining patient privacy while ensuring data accessibility requires careful design. The healthcare sector is constantly changing, and in order to meet the issues of data security, interoperability, and patient empowerment, it is essential to integrate innovative technology. With its reputation for being decentralized and impervious to tampering, blockchain technology has become a disruptive factor in the redesign of electronic health records (EHR). Blockchain technology has long been a fascinating field of study, and many different businesses have benefited from its applications. Similar to this, the security, privacy, secrecy, and decentralization of blockchain technology present enormous opportunities for the healthcare industry. However, issues with data management, security, and integrity plague Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. This research study explores how blockchain technology might revolutionize electronic health record systems and perhaps address these problems.
