Becker's Healthcare February 27, 2019
Blockchain has not established itself within the healthcare sector, but that does not mean it doesn’t have a place within the industry. Here are five ways blockchain could transform healthcare, according to Coin Rivet:
1. Medical data: Because blockchain can be accessed by all users, many are skeptical if it follows HIPAA policies. However, through the technology, physicians and hospitals would be less susceptible to cybersecurity attacks. Providers would be able to more easily and securely share patients’ medical histories and update patient records.
2. Patient access: With different blockchains, patients can access and control the ownership of their medical records. The records are traceable on the blockchain, reducing the risk of deleted information, missing vaccinations and false medication claims.
