Because blockchain technology can be applied to virtually any industry, it is no surprise that it has found its place in the healthcare industry. The use of blockchain technology in healthcare has been around for a while now, but the technology is still considered to be in its infancy. This means that there are still many ways that blockchain can be used to improve upon existing processes, while also providing new opportunities for innovation. Blockchain technology can be used to store medical records securely, ensure patient privacy and confidentiality, streamline payment processes, prevent fraud and corruption, reduce costs associated with insurance claims processing and administration, increase efficiency by eliminating paperwork errors or lost documents during patient transfers between facilities or hospitals/clinics across state lines or countries without requiring human intervention to verify identity before allowing access into secured areas such as operating rooms, etc... Healthcare is a well-known industry for its slow adoption of new technology. However, blockchain technology is one of the few emerging technologies that has the potential to change the healthcare industry by bringing transparency and trust to all parties involved—from patients and providers to payers and manufacturers.
