Abstract
The fourth industrial revolution, which will alter the globe, is commonly referred to as Blockchain technology. Blockchain technology provides a decentralized, distributed, and central authority-free environment. Since Bitcoin launched Blockchain, research has been continuing on non-financial use cases to extend their applicability. Healthcare is an industry with a significant influence on the Blockchain. Healthcare has penetrated the enthusiasm for the changing nature of Blockchain technology. Blockchain is frequently viewed as the most necessary and optimal healthcare technology to handle sophisticated and complex security and interoperability concerns. More significantly, the “value” and trust-based system’s smart contract mechanism can offer automatic action and reaction. Healthcare, on the other hand, is a complex system. In this paper, we introduce the blockchain and its properties, as well as the significance of the blockchain in healthcare. It also provides blockchain administration, adjudication of claims, interoperability, and application. While in several situations, we observed blockchain technology, the use of blockchain in health care was highly addressed in this paper and the reason why blockchain should be utilized. We introduce the advantages of blockchain as well. Furthermore, we examined the difficulties and prospects for the future and how they may be implemented in more healthcare industries. The paper also discusses the current level of Blockchain application development for healthcare and its limits and topics for further research. This paper aims to demonstrate how Blockchain technologies may be utilized in healthcare and what problems this technology may face in the future and what the Blockchain’s prospects are.
Highlights
In this paper they explain about the Blockchain use cases in healthcare include the managements of electronic medical records (EMRs), pharmaceutical supply chain, biomedical research and education, remote patient monitoring (RPM), health insurance claims, health data analytics and other potential areas of healthcare applications
We have designed our Blockchain solution with a distributed microwave architecture to enable our system’ s -core functions to be encapsulated in single services that can be scaled on a specific level based on the needs of a particular hospital system deployment
Our approach relies on health data uploads that are triggered by software components contained inside electronic health record (EHR) systems that are part of our Blockchain network as part of the bigger solution
Summary
For health care and information technology, this is an exciting time. While Blockchain technology is not a silver bullet for data standards or system integration problems, it does provide a potential new distributed framework for amplifying and supporting the integration of health care data across multiple applications and stakeholders. It solves a number of problems while making the system more efficient, decentralized, and safe. A substantial clinical transformation is required to effectively employ technology for the greatest outcome that can be examined and analyzed from a socio-technical standpoint. In order to get the greatest results in healthcare, technology is used (Linn & Koo, 2016)
