Blockchain has shown its usefulness when recording events like transactions. This usefulness could be extended to medical records, which often suffer from inaccuracy and discrepancies.
Healthcare professionals are responsible for ensuring that sensitive medical records are accurate, complete, and only available to authorized individuals. All of this can prove to be difficult when healthcare providers all have different systems for storing information.
For example, prescription records are one aspect of medical records that could be positively impacted by blockchain. Just imagine if a patient’s prescription information was left vulnerable to manipulation by hackers. Simply put, the more quality and secure that health information is, the better the quality and care.
As it stands, patients currently have their medications prescribed and filled by various entities, such as hospitals and pharmacies. Each entity has their own database for patient medications and prescriptions, which can result in discrepancies in patient records.
By having a “prescription blockchain,” much of the problems that arise from varied systems and records could be avoided as the blockchain could serve as a shared and trustworthy source of patient prescription records. Healthcare providers could have an accurate, immediate view into a patient’s medications, both past and present, which would result in better, more personalized treatment.
