EFFICIENT MEDICAL RECORD SYSTEM USING HYBRID BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY (KEY IJP************152)

• Ashish Thomas

Abstract

Interoperability, patient privacy, and data security are major issues facing the healthcare sector. In order to tackle these problems, the system uses hybrid blockchain technology to offer a novel method of maintaining medical records. Because of blockchain technology's decentralization, security, privacy, and confidentiality, the healthcare industry stands to gain greatly from it. In order to provide a safe, scalable, and interoperable platform for medical record management, the proposed system combines the advantages of public and private blockchains. Patient information in this system is kept on a private blockchain, ensuring access control and privacy. Access to the patient's medical history is restricted to authorized healthcare providers, enhancing confidentiality and regulatory compliance. On the other hand, a public blockchain is utilized for managing data transactions, enabling secure and efficient data sharing between different healthcare institutions. This hybrid blockchain-based medical record system offers several advantages. It ensures data integrity, traceability, and immutability, reducing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized alterations. The system allows patients to have more control over their medical data and provides a transparent audit trail for all data access and modifications. Moreover, it promotes interoperability between healthcare providers, making it easier to exchange patient information and improve the quality of care.
