“…• Preventing unauthorized individuals from gaining physical access to EHR server rooms or data centers is of utmost importance. Through the classification of security incidents in EHRs, experts can delve into trends, pinpoint common attack vectors, and devise strategies to minimize risks and bolster the security of EHR systems [18]. This classification framework can provide valuable insights for the development of security policies, procedures, and technical controls to effectively safeguard patient health information.…”

The rapid advancement of information technology has completely transformed the healthcare sector, demanding creative solutions to tackle a wide range of challenges. Electronic Health Records (EHR) are essential in contemporary healthcare systems, enabling the storage, retrieval, and sharing of data about patients among healthcare providers. Ensuring the confidentiality and safety of EHR data is a major challenge because of the sensitive nature of health-related information and the growing number of cyber threats. Our paper introduces a new framework for enhancing the security of Electronic Health Records by leveraging the use of blockchain technology and the Inter Planetary File System (IPFS). The framework utilizes the immutability and decentralized nature of blockchain to guarantee data integrity and audibility, while IPFS offers a distributed and resistant tamp storing solution for data stored off-chain. Explaining the structure of our proposed framework, which involves combining blockchain and IPFS components, and examining how it tackles important security and privacy issues in EHR systems. Furthermore, a demonstration of the framework's implementation is provided, along with an assessment of its performance, scalability, and security aspects. The study illustrates the potential and success of utilizing blockchain and IPFS to secure Electronic Health Records, leading to improved data security and compatibility in healthcare systems.

“…Certainly, the individual smart contract that operates within the context of a specific hospital for managing user interactions between Doctors and Patients, the individual smart contract streamlines the interactions between healthcare providers (Doctors) and patients, enhancing communication and data sharing. Patients have greater control over their medical records, promoting privacy and data autonomy [20,21].The integration of IPFS and Ethereum blockchain ensures data security, traceability, and transparency. In essence, the individual smart contract serves as a pivotal component within Hospital X's digital infrastructure, providing a secure, efficient, and transparent means of managing medical records and interactions between healthcare providers and patients.…”

The rapid digitization of healthcare records has led to the accumulation of vast amounts of sensitive patient data, stored across various systems and platforms. To ensure the secure and efficient exchange of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) among healthcare providers, researchers, and patients themselves, the concept of cross-chain interoperability within blockchain technology emerges as a promising solution. Nevertheless, existing blockchain platforms exhibit several limitations. In order to address the issue of non-interoperability, the suggested method involves creating a connection between two similar blockchain networks. This solution is exemplified through the use of an Electronic Health Records (EHR) structure, which is distributed across distinct Ethereum Testnets and implemented via a Solidity Smart Contract. The paper aims to demonstrate the viability of bridging the gap and fostering seamless interoperability between blockchain networks. However, establishing effective communication between these smart contracts proves to be a complex endeavor, whether within a singular blockchain or spanning multiple blockchains. This complexity presents a formidable obstacle, particularly when diverse hospitals require the sharing or exchange of critical information. Consequently, a solution becomes imperative to facilitate cross-chain communication among smart contracts. This solution provides seamless operation both within the confines of a single blockchain and across disparate blockchains. By achieving this, cross-chain interoperability can be realized, enabling distinct blockchain networks to mutually comprehend and actively engage with each other.
