RE: Electronic Health Record (EHR)- Revolutionary Change brought by Blockchain
Good intro!
am not critical of what you said but I don’t think a public blockchain is possible. Never make it through the HA ethics board.
Unless a total elimination of hand written patient records in public hospitals would exist, a total integration, in different domains, is wishing thinking.
I don’t work medically related but have friends and acquaintances working clinically in mangerial positions over public and private hospitals and also some with their own speciality clinics. We have talked about this countless times.
After all, your post is informative.
Yes, you're right, there are some drawbacks in current practice, and hand written ways to operate is still the norm, and I think that progress can be made, as the tablet has already been put into practice in the ward. The trend of eliminating paper stuff should be inevitable. Besides you have mentioned the use of public blockchain, but actually the integration permission-based blockchain can be feasible, such as Hyperledger Fabric Architecture is a good direction to create a closed blockchain.
