Abstract

Abstract: Data accessibility refers to making sure that users have unrestricted access to information, whereas data privacy refers to making sure that users have control over access to information. Data accessibility and privacy conflicts are common, and the healthcare industry is one where they are particularly crucial. In this post, we talk about how blockchain technology and smart contracts could be useful in various common situations involving data access, data management, and data Interoperability for the particular healthcare area. We then suggest developing a sizable information architecture based on smart contracts as information intermediaries to access electronic health records (EHRs). Our key contribution is how we frame the problems of data accessibility and privacy in healthcare and how we suggest a blockchain-based integrated architecture.
