Abstract
In the current epoch of smart homes and cities, personal data such as patients’ names, diseases and addresses are often violated. This is frequently associated with the safety of the electronic health records (EHRs) of patients. EHRs have numerous benefits worldwide, but at present, EHR information is subject to considerable security and privacy issues. This paper proposes a way to provide a secure solution to these issues. Previous sophisticated techniques dealing with the protection of EHRs usually make data inaccessible to patients. These techniques struggle to balance data confidentiality, patient demand and constant interaction with provider data. Blockchain technology solves the above problems since it distributes information in a transactional and decentralized manner. The usage of blockchain technology could help the health sector to balance the accessibility and privacy of EHRs. This paper proposes a blockchain security framework (BSF) to effectively and securely store and keep EHRs. It presents a safe and proficient means of acquiring medical information for doctors, patients and insurance agents while protecting the patient’s data. This work aims to examine how our proposed framework meets the security needs of doctors, patients and third parties and how the structure addresses safety and confidentiality concerns in the healthcare sector. Simulation outcomes show that this framework efficiently protects EHR data.
Highlights
Electronic health records (EHR)offer a convenient health record storage system that encourages electronic access to patients’ conventional paper medical records [1]
We describe the development of a blockchain security framework for EHR (BSF-EHR) with multiple authorities to meet the need for blockchain in shared EHR systems

Summary
Electronic health records (EHR)offer a convenient health record storage system that encourages electronic access to patients’ conventional paper medical records [1]. This technique helps patients to manage, create, control and distribute EHRs to friends, family, health care providers and other authorized information customers; health care analysts and other such service providers can access these EHRs. patients are able to share their EHRs with various parties throughout their life time so that the EHRs shift from one provider to another. Patient access to EHRs is too restricted, and patients generally cannot just distribute this information to providers or researchers. The proposed system achieves the objective of enhancing collaboration and reliability among all institutions by obtaining assistance from the blockchain
