Blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger technology, which is characterized by a high degree of security, decentralization, transparency and so on. In the medical industry, blockchain can provide solutions for the security, privacy and authenticity of medical information, and can improve the pain points and problems in the medical industry.
1. Electronic Medical Records
Electronic medical records can be stored on the blockchain to ensure that medical information is not tampered with or leaked. In addition, every healthcare organization and doctor can view and update that medical record. If a patient goes to another hospital, that hospital can access that medical record, so this decentralized storage also solves the problem of a lack of information ***sharing between medical institutions.
2. Drug Traceability
Blockchain can record the whole process of production, transportation and sales of drugs. This helps to solve the problem of counterfeit drugs and other problems in the drug distribution chain. Through blockchain technology, consumers can scan the QR code or barcode on medicines to view the production and distribution process, thus ensuring the authenticity and safety of medicines.
3. Medical Data*** Sharing
Blockchain can realize medical data*** sharing through anonymity. Anonymized ***sharing allows healthcare organizations to ***share certain data, such as treatment outcomes, disease statistics, and other data, without revealing the identity of the patient. This helps the healthcare industry to improve and progress from experience and data.
4. Health Insurance
Blockchain can provide a transparent, secure and efficient way to settle insurance claims. When there is a dispute between a doctor and an insurance company, blockchain can record and verify all relevant data and information to resolve the dispute quickly and accurately.
In short, blockchain technology can change the operating model of the healthcare industry and improve the security, authenticity, and ****enjoyment of medical data, thus bringing more benefits to the healthcare industry.
