Practical Uses for Blockchain in healthcare and companies with use cases. New Orleans presentation 2018

1. Moving the Needle on Blockchain
Uses in Healthcare
Are we there yet?
Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA

2. What Blockchain Isn’t
● Captain SaveEm
● The solution to all the ills of
healthcare
● Bitcoin

3. •A (distributed) transactional ledger
•An enhancement to current &
emerging technologies
•A way to establish trust relationships
where they would otherwise not exist
What Blockchain is

4. • Data security
• Scientific
Integrity
• Real-time
access
• Communication
Where can we use blockchain

5. Where are we seeing efficacy?
1. Payments: The transparent ledger allows for any participants to audit and verify
that transactions were received by intended parties, assuming the individual or
organization tied to public address was known to the sender
2. Registries: With blockchain, control over the data in registries can be returned to
patients and participants in research studies and allow for development of incentive
models for keeping individual health care profiles up-to-date.
3. Provider Credentialing: Hashed Health-Provider credentialing plays
a key role in health care delivery, with care providers facing delays in enrolment and
credentialing processes that impact their ability to provide care.
4. Supply Chain and Provenance - Supply chain was one of the earliest use cases for
blockchain because it provides the ability to tie individual addresses to unique assets, and when
combined with technology such as near-field communication (NFC) chips, can track assets
throughout the supply chain from production to delivery.
Use Case

6. Patientory
Patientory is a patient-
centered enterprise
solution designed to
eliminate transactional
inefficiencies and barriers
to care

7. Barriers
● Regulation
● Ill-informed teams
● Interoperability of
emerging and
evolving
technologies

8. Where do we go from here?
