Abstract

n

n

nTo explores the transformative potential of blockchain technology in managing, securing, and ensuring the integrity of Electronic Health Records (EHRs). EHRs, which store vital patient information such as medical histories, diagnoses, prescriptions, and imaging results, are essential for enhancing healthcare delivery. Conventional centralized Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems encounter issues such as susceptibility to single points of failure, security risks, and constraints in maintaining data integrity. By leveraging blockchain’s inherent properties like security, privacy, decentralization, and transparency, this research proposes a robust framework for blockchain integration into EHR systems. The framework addresses the limitations of centralized models, enabling interoperable, secure, and connected health records. Key benefits include enhanced data privacy, system transparency, improved interoperability, and automation through smart contracts. The implementation on the Ethereum blockchain showcases a practical, scalable solution that is cost-effective and adaptable for both permissioned and permissionless networks, demonstrating its potential for wide adoption in modern healthcare systems.nn
