“…An operational concept of a blockchain-based platform that is built over NEM multi-signature blockchain contracts, tokens, and cryptography was proposed by [102]. Multi-signature contracts are utilised to control and administrate activity of a specific account, by establishing powers and rights to that specific account.…”

Recently, there have been increasing calls for healthcare providers to provide controls for patients over their personal health records. Nevertheless, security issues concerning how different healthcare providers exchange healthcare information have caused a flop in the deployment of such systems. The ability to exchange data securely is important so that new borderless integrated healthcare services can be provided to patients. Due to its decentralized nature, blockchain technology is a suitable driver for the much-needed shift towards integrated healthcare, providing new insights and addressing some of the main challenges of many healthcare areas. Blockchain allows healthcare providers to record and manage peer-to-peer transactions through a network without central authority. In this paper, we discuss the concept of blockchain technology and hurdles in their adoption in the healthcare domain. Furthermore, a review is conducted on the latest implementations of blockchain technology in healthcare. Finally, a new case study of a blockchain-based healthcare platform is presented addressing the drawbacks of current designs, followed by recommendations for future blockchain researchers and developers.

Provenance comprises the support for participants of the network to know where the "asset" came from and how its ownership has changed over time; while finality refers to a single and shared ledger providing one unique place to support one to determine the ownership of an asset or the completion of a transaction.…”

“…Cross-institutional sharing of PHI is also complicated due to the demand of a high level of interoperability. As a consequence, data are not always accessible to a provider even when permission is granted [3]. In an ideal world, patients should not only own their own medical records but also be able to control and share their own data without compromising security and privacy.…”

Healthcare systems have been supported by technology to help improve the user experience with the entire health system. However, many operational challenges still remain, in particular those related to a unified management of electronic health records (EHR) that could enable multiple doctors to have access to the complete health history of their patient. Blockchain could support unified records, data security and privacy improvement and insurance decisions/transactions making it an effective solution for the above mentioned healthcare technology challenges. The main contribution of this paper is providing preliminary results of a literature review on the adoption of blockchain to support the management of EHR in health systems-along with the benefits and challenges.
