Abstract
The nature of medical system is viewed as perhaps the main factor of a nation. Currently Electronic Health Record (EHR) is being used to store the patient’s medical data. However, EHR faces some issues like interoperability, security, privacy. All such issues leads to the decreased quality of medical system and also to an increase in healthcare costs because data is being shared between different medical facilities over different places. The management of medical data also include some different challenges such as access to data and the way that data is often accessed at different places other than the medical facility. Blockchain technology can help in improving current healthcare system. The objective of this research paper is to show how EHR can be implemented into healthcare sector for maintaining patient’s data using blockchain technology i.e. how the data can be gathered, uploaded and accessed. Blockchain provide the way to efficiently handle the medical data.
