Blockchain Based Record Management System in Hospitals

Abstract

Every industry is expanding too quickly and adjusting to this new technology as it develops. Since it has the potential to deliver more precise and economical patient care, healthcare data management has recently attracted a lot of attention. Even today, many hospitals hold their own autonomous record management system, which causes security issues. In centralized record management systems, data privacy, centralized data stewardship, and system vulnerability problems affect traditional client-server-based and cloud-based health data management systems. Blockchain technology has a promising future in the healthcare industry because of its immutability, transparency, privacy, and security properties, which can address certain critical problems with the health management system. A more patient-oriented approach in healthcare systems is required to improve the accuracy and transparency of medical data. In healthcare systems, health records are the most sensitive asset that must be unique and protected across the system. Our objective is to showcase the potential use of blockchain technology in health record management systems in hospitals. In this paper, we demonstrate a health record management system that uses blockchain technology to store the medical records of a patient across multiple hospitals. The proposed system will mainly help in maintaining consistency issues related to data along with improved security in the system.
