Abstract

This report intends to play out a precise audit to survey and establish the practicality of blockchain for implementing healthcare service records effectively. Traditional health records are both localized and expensive to operate; they can be improved upon by using blockchain based electronic health records (EHRs). EHRs are just electronic versions of a patient's whole clinical history. EHRs, when stored on blockchain, has some serious advantages when compared to their traditional centrally stored counterparts. The patient's medical records will be stored on a distributed network. An ethereum based decentralized application (DApp) can be incorporated to record and update medical information securely in real time using smart contracts. A decentralized application on a private blockchain network will ensure the integrity of data records and improve interoperability of the system by providing permanent access to essential details like patient's medical track record, prescription history, laboratory/ clinical reports etc. The application uses the efficiency and security of blockchain technology to solve the challenges faced by the healthcare domain.
