Blockchain in healthcare refers to the application of blockchain technology for the secure storage, management, and exchange of medical information and health records. This decentralized, tamper-resistant ledger improves data integrity, safeguards patient privacy, optimizes processes, and promotes better collaboration among healthcare stakeholders. It facilitates the secure sharing of patient data across different systems while maintaining transparency and control, resulting in improved patient outcomes and a reduction in fraud.
The main types of blockchain in healthcare are permission blockchains and permissionless blockchains. Permissioned blockchains also called private blockchains that require prior approval before use and can be accessed by people who are allowed to access. These offer high customizability, access controls, better Scalability, depend on governance, and more efficient performance. The different deployment types include on-premises, and cloud-based, and are used in supply chain management, clinical data exchange and interoperability, claims adjudication and billing management, and others. The end-users of blockchain in healthcare include healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare payers, and others.
