Blockchain in Healthcare Department: Blockchain in Healthcare Data Management

Abstract

Blockchain technology is revolutionizing healthcare data management by introducing unprecedented levels of security, privacy, and interoperability. It provides a tamper-resistant, decentralized ledger for storing patient records and enables secure, transparent sharing of medical data among healthcare providers and patients. With blockchain, patients have more control over their data, ensuring their privacy while enhancing data accuracy. Moreover, healthcare institutions can streamline administrative processes and reduce fraud. This innovative approach promises to improve patient care, reduce costs, and reshape the healthcare industry's data management landscape. The Department of Health and Human Services keeps track of and posts the data breaches. The battle against the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of the blockchain technology.
