Most clinics and medical facilities have in cooperated a one-on-one model of patient-provider interaction. The problem is that this model does not allow providers to consult with other healthcare givers and then follows the patient’s progress as part of a holistic shared care plan. The model is rigid and makes the data silos which prevent collaborative efforts for positive healthcare outcomes. The global blockchain-in-the-healthcare market is expected to grow at a growth rate of 63.8% and reach a value of $5.61 billion by 2025.
Most healthcare technology systems begin a patient’s healthcare journey from a visit to the doctor or a hospital. Here, the patient is registered into their local clinical system, such as an EMR (Electronic Medical Record), PAS (Patient Registration System) or GP (General Practice) System. Patients are consumers, and their healthcare journey involves many people and services, who are not able to contribute to the healthcare service delivery process effectively because the processes of healthcare service delivery are broken and fragmented. It is becoming more evident that wellness and vitality services can also play a significant role in patients’ healthcare outcomes. The current traditional healthcare ecosystem work in silos with fragmented data about a single patient collected from interactions compounded by one-on-one encounters between patients and their care providers. Globally, we lack a one-stop platform where a patient’s information is collected, shared and utilized with a consortium of doctors and service providers. A full history and journey of the patient’s Electronic Health Records (EHR) could help in the healthcare sector and provide incentives for all persons to strive towards making caregiving more cost-effective.

• A one-on-one system is followed by most hospital and clinical systems. dClinic puts the patient at the centre of treatment by opening healthcare service interactions to a care team.
• Minimal patient feedback, if any is offered by most clinical systems. Feedback loop is encouraged by dClinic, and permits the patient to share data so other care team members can contribute to healthcare outcomes. And for care team members it allows sharing within the Care Team through any Internet browser.
• It will also provide secure APIs (FHIR) to allow others to contribute to a Shared Care Plan.
• Most clinical systems start with a Patient Administration System (PAS) whereas the platform focuses on the Care Plan, where data is securely stored in the dClinic blockchain.
