Blockchain is an immutable and secure distributed ledger that allows for a single version of truth across multiple parties. It is the technology that underlies Bitcoin, which is a cryptocurrency that solves issues with traditional banking like transaction fees, fake currencies, and transaction times. Bitcoin transactions are recorded on the blockchain in an immutable way that prevents hacking. Blockchain has various use cases in healthcare like creating longitudinal patient records by compiling medical data from different providers on an interoperable ledger, improving master patient indices to reduce duplicate records, enabling automatic claims adjudication, and improving supply chain management through smart contracts.

16. USE CASES.

17. 1.) Single, longitudinal patient records
Longitudinal patient records- compiling
episodes, disease registries, lab results,
treatments- can be achieved through
blockchain, including inpatient, ambulatory and
wearable data- assisting providers in coming up
with better ways of delivering care.
2.) Master patient indices
Often when dealing with healthcare data,
records get mismatched or duplicated. Also,
different EHRs have a different schema for
every single field- coming up with different
ways of entering and manipulating the simplest
of data sets.
3.) Claims adjudication
Since blockchain works on a validation-based exchange, the
claims can be automatically verified where the network agrees
upon the way a contract is executed. Also, since there is no
central authority, there would be fewer errors or frauds.
4.) Supply chain management
Blockchain-based contracts can assist healthcare organizations
in monitoring supply-demand cycles through its entire lifecycle-
how is the transaction taking place, whether the contract is
successful, or if there are any delays.
5.)Interoperability
Interoperability, the very promise of blockchain, can be realized
by the use of sophisticated APIs to make EHR interoperability
and data storage a reliable process. With blockchain network
being shared with authorized providers in a secure and
standardized way, that would eliminate the cost and burden
associated with data reconciliation.
Other than these, blockchain can transform revenue cycle
management, drug supply management, clinical trials and
prevent frauds.
