Abstract
The modern day methods used to record as well as share patient related data are deeply flawed. These shortcomings limit the amount of access patients have to their clinical records, reduce availability of essential data to healthcare providers, and thus stand as an obstacle in creating the ideal health care system. Storing crucial patient related data on a Blockchain can help overcome the shortcomings posed by the current model. Whenever you read about blockchain, its application in banking or financial sector comes to our mind. This paper presents a comprehensive overview on blockchain technology. We provide an overview of blockchain architechture, security in blockchain & its advantages. Furthermore, it explores its application in a novel sector, i.e. healthcare sector. The paper discusses how healthcare records can be secured, using blockchain technology, in a health information system.
