Electronic Health Records Management Using Blockchain Technology

In the recent years, blockchain technology has gained significant attention in the healthcare sector. It has the potential to alleviate a wide variety of major difficulties in electronic health record systems. This study presents an elaborate overview of the existing research works on blockchain applications in the healthcare industry[10] In the healthcare industry, managing electronic health records (EHRs) effectively and securely has always been difficult. However, blockchain technology offers a chance since it can provide information confidentiality, data consistency, and patient ownership over medical history. Blockchain resists corrosion because it is decentralized by nature. This significantly reduces the likelihood of data infringement and ill-advised access while facilitating the easy exchange of medical records between practitioners. Patients gain from this development because it increases their trust, enhances healthcare coordination, gradually lowers administrative costs, and—above all—makes the systems less opaque and more patient-centred.
