Frequent Visit

Abstract Frequent visit of doctors during pandemicis not recommended due to COVID-19 scenario. Internet of Things (IoT) based sensors can be used to measure andto do certain tests at home. The blockchain-based strategy promises to aid in the delivery of health-care services while maintaining data privacy. To maintain transparency in the health record, medications, claim history, etc., up-to-dated distributed ledger is required. Doctors have sometimes necessitate patients to undergo lab tests or buy drugs from those organisations merely in order to generate personal profit, even if the medical shop or pathology labs have a bad reputation. Therefore, blockchain technology provides trust among multiple parties so that any party could not be misguided. At times, the patient visits the hospital in critical condition and they may not be in situation to explain about medical history. In such scenario, the information stored in distributed leger may be helpful to the doctors for further treatment. The medical emergencies such as cardiac arrest and breathing issues, the patient requires immediate treatment or medicine at his/her location, the intelligent drone is useful for faster delivery of medicines and needed medical accessories.

Electronic Health

Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems are a powerful tool for healthcare providers and patients. Both groups benefit from unified, easily accessible record management; however, EHR systems also bring new threats to patient privacy. The reach of electronic patient data extends far beyond the healthcare realm. Patients are managing their own health records through personal health record (PHR) service providers, and businesses outside of the healthcare industry are finding themselves increasingly linked to medical data. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule and other regulatory measures establish baseline standards for protecting patient privacy, but the inclusion of medical images in patient records presents unique challenges. Medical images often require specialized management tools, and some medical images may reveal a patient’s identity or medical condition through re-linkage or inherent identifiability. After exploring EHR systems in-depth and reviewing health information policy, the chapter explores how privacy challenges associated with EHR systems and medical images can be mitigated through the combined efforts of technology, policy, and legislation designed to reduce the risk of re-identification.

Readiness To Adopt

Blockchain technology is an emerging innovation, and it is viewed as a better approach to help the necessities of people and institutions in terms of record management. Using the Delphi technique and the PERM model, this chapter seeks to present the perspectives of experts in the field of blockchain on the readiness of the institutions in developing economies to adopt and implement it. The findings suggest that the understanding of the technology, knowledge on how to use it, availability of skilled personnel, availability of technical components, risk, capital, management support, business process, policies and regulations, and government initiatives on technology are key influencing factors assessing the readiness to adopt blockchain in a developing economy. It is expected that these findings will enlighten practitioners on the prospects of the application of blockchain in all sectors. The originality of this study lies in the fact that it is a maiden exploratory study that examines the factors that influence the readiness to adopt and implement blockchain technology in a developing economy.
