The use cases for blockchain in healthcare will start in small projects that reduce duplicative work but can eventually shift to a system where patients control access rights to their data.

Getting your organisation on blockchain

2. WHAT IS BIRTHVENUE?
Very few organisations know the real fundamentals of Blockchain, and even
fewer have the requisite resources and talent to execute. However, what is
true is that everybody wants to embrace it.
Birthvenue is a blockchain-as-a-service provider.
BirthVenue assists management teams in understanding the fundamentals
of blockchain technology by creating industry-specific case studies as
references to use cases. Our team of engineers develops elegant blockchain
solutions and platforms to empower successful businesses into new
technology spaces. Our lawyers on board will help clarify all regulatory
requirements to make sure operations are within the purview of the law.

3. PROBLEMS TO TACKLE IN THE
HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
1. The current digital infrastructure for healthcare services does not fully support the
security or interoperability that is inherently necessary.
2. Electronic health records (EHR) tend to be separated by health agencies, making it
impossible to determine a patient’s medical history without consulting their previous
care provider.
3. The current systems to store electronic health records are centralised, exposed to
control & manipulation resulting in data theft/leak.

4. The duplicative and distributed nature of the blockchain makes it perfect for
enhanced security.
W H A T C A N B L O C K C H A I N O F F E R ?
EHR's are stored in the organisation’s existing databases and/or on cloud
computing systems. A hash is created from each source of data and is redirected
to the blockchain along with the patient’s public ID.
Smart contracts are used to manage patient data access.

5. It creates absolute trust between distributed participants of the infrastructure
(Healthcare service platform, Doctors, Hospital/clinics and Patients).
Its transaction layer can enable instant access to a diverse set of standardized,
anonymous and non-patient identifiable information.
Transparency and automation can also lead to higher efficiency and lower
administration costs.

6. BLOCKCHAIN FEATURES
- No single point of control. No single point of
failure. Decentralised control via a federation of voting nodes makes
for a P2P network.
- More than just tamper-resistant. Once stored, data
cannot be changed or deleted.
- Set permissions at the transaction level to ensure
a clear separation of duties and enforce selective access.
Decentralisation
Immutability
Permissioning
- Design a private network with custom assets,
transactions, permissions, and transparency.
Customisable

From a base context of a centralised cloud computing ecosystem (left),
Blockchain can be added as another database to gain some decentralisation
benefits (middle). It also fits into a fully-decentralised technology stack (right).

8. A POTENTIAL ROAD MAP
Short-Term Medium-Term Long-Term
Closed consortia,
pilot projects, no
patient data
System that can scale
with permissioned
stakeholders and
handle patient data
Patient driven
system with master
health records and
access rights in the
hands of patients
Use cases for blockchain will start in small projects that reduce duplicative
work but can eventually shift to a system where patients control access
rights to their data.
