Empowering Healthcare: Hyperledger Blockchain for Unified Electronic Health Records and Organ Donation Integrity
This paper proposes the integration of blockchain technology, specifically Hyperledger Fabric, to address challenges in organ donation management and electronic health records (EHRs) sharing. Blockchain's inherent features such as transparency, immutability, and decentralization are leveraged to streamline organ procurement processes, mitigate fraud, and build trust among stakeholders. Our framework includes organ tracking, consent verification, and secure data sharing among medical institutions through smart contracts, ensuring automation while maintaining data privacy and patient confidentiality. This solution is designed to accommodate the modern trend of seeking healthcare services from multiple providers, providing patients ownership of their EHRs and enabling seamless transfer across hospitals. By empowering healthcare providers with a unified system for organ donation integrity and EHR management, our approach aims to enhance collaboration, reduce administrative burdens, and improve the efficiency of organ transplantation systems, all while ensuring data security and promoting continuity of care.
