Annotation: This article discusses the application of blockchain technology to enhance data integrity and confidentiality in medical documentation. It explores how the intrinsic features of blockchain, such as decentralization, immutability, and encryption, can safeguard medical records. Key points include the use of consensus mechanisms to ensure data integrity, encryption techniques for securing data, and the implementation of permissioned blockchain to control access based on user roles. The article also examines how smart contracts can automate compliance with healthcare regulations and manage patient consent, addressing the potential for blockchain to streamline processes and improve security in healthcare systems.
