Abstract :

Health data appear as a fundamental factor that needs to be presented in a certain form and content from both technical and legal, as well as socioethical aspects. Due to the simplicity of the structure, personal health data itself should contain a very small amount of data. However, as these data relate to the data that link a particular person to whether he has already been treated, when and what type of treatment, the personal health card must have personal data proving the identity of the person in different destinations, i.e. areas where the individual can move and show that the person is medically treated. The challenges of digital health records relate to the elements of general interoperability and data integrity of the following components • Complexity of resources in IT domains • Possibility of interference • Conflict standards - post facto • Heterogeneous global landscape of IT • There are no unified coding systems at the international level • Lack of balance between cost allocation • Low transparency - reduced accountability • Centralized networks - reduced efficiency • General system limitation caused by the level of fragmentation • Lack of a sufficient level of trust in the data transaction layer At these points, Blockchain emerges as a promising response to most obstacles, particularly the data integrity dilemma. Because it is based on trust and immutability, Blockchain enables better data-level cooperation between healthcare providers and service providers by adopting the principle of secure storage of electronic medical records by providing tons of data to health information systems.
