Blockchain Technology Implementation for Medical Data Management in Malaysia: Potential, Need and Challenges

Abstract

This study highlights several challenges along with the potential and need for blockchain technology implementation in the Malaysian healthcare industry context. The systematic review unearths potential technological, organizational, environmental, individual-level acceptance concerns and challenges associated with deploying blockchain to support electronic health records. As such, this research serves as the starting point for a chain of studies aiming at detecting, analyzing, and responding to such demands. The study is expected to guide policy and decision-making procedure of a secure and resilient health information exchange for healthcare stakeholders of developing nations such as Malaysia.

Technology-Oriented Innovations and Cyber Security Challenges in the Healthcare Delivery System: A perspective from Developing Economy

“…Consequently, the healthcare sector has gradually metamorphosed into multiple digitally-driven technological transformations in diagnostics and equipment but has also experienced an improvement in administration as suggested by Kornyo, (2021). According to Hira et al, (2022), even though, there have been enormous benefits derived from technology-driven innovations, such as a decrease in diagnostic errors, and improvement in healthcare delivery, yet, there is seemingly resistance to these innovations and advancements of technologies in developing economies. This situation is primarily because of circumstances such as infrastructural and resource constraints, as well as cyber-security challenges.…”

“…The healthcare sector has not only undergone a metamorphosis in multiple digitallydriven technological transformations in diagnostics and equipment but has also experienced an improvement in the administration, management and delivery (Kornyo, 2021). In spite, of enormous technology-driven benefits, such as a decrease in diagnostic errors, and improvement in healthcare delivery, yet, there is seeming resistance to technology by patients and clients alike to these innovations and advancement in digital healthcare technologies in transitional economies (Hira et al, 2022). Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to examine those possible factors that serve as hindrances and inhibitors to professionals in the healthcare sector towards e-health innovations that have proven even more useful in the mix of the pandemic.…”

Financial Technology in Recovery: Behavioral Usage of Payment Systems by Indonesian MSMEs in the Post-Pandemic Era

“…Consumers' familiarity and proficiency with digital technology vary within the fintech domain. As a result, those more adept with digital interfaces anticipate fewer challenges and adapt more rapidly to fintech services [36]. The proposed hypothesis suggests that an enhancement in the usage of fintech platforms for financial transactions is expected when customers find these systems to be userfriendly and simple to navigate.…”

Framework analysis on the adoption of digital healthcare services among senior citizens by using the extended technology acceptance model (ETAM)

“…As reported by Enaizan et al (2020) and Zakaria (2022), many healthcare facilities in Malaysia are now using electronic medical records (EMRs) to store and manage patient information. Hira et al (2022) mentioned this allows for more efficient sharing of medical records among healthcare providers and reduces the risk of medical errors. Additionally, the Malaysian government launched the national health information exchange (HIE) called MyHEalthXchange which allows healthcare providers to share patient data securely and efficiently (Bazel et al, 2022).…”
