The burgeoning field of blockchain technology is impacting cybersecurity and patient control, and is making the global healthcare system more interoperable and transparent. This chapter focuses on the application of blockchain technology within the realm of healthcare through the lens of practicality, actual situations within the industry, and what lies ahead. Unlike traditional records, blockchain technology pioneered the concept of Electronic Health Records, where patient data management is secure, decentralised, and controlled by the patient. Omnichain systems can also use blockchain technology within the pharmaceutical industry to address the global issue of counterfeit drugs. Other clinical applications of blockchain technology include collaboration in research and digital consent management in clinical trials. The technology is also versatile in remote patient tracking, thus improving the quality of care patients receive, more specifically, in remote and underserved areas. The technology is also beneficial to the healthcare industry in real-time telemedicine, patient remote monitoring, and automation of healthcare fraud through smart contracts within the insurance sector. The technology enables greater and more effective collaboration within data security and compliance, automation of contracts, and administrative fraud. The technology also supports compliance with pertinent legislation within the industry, such as GDPR and HIPAA. Challenges to scaling the technology include issues with interoperability, ethical issues, and setting industry standards. The chapter provides insights and a framework to the healthcare professional and decision makes to extract value from the technology within a patient-centric, secure, and global system.
