Abstract
The most innovative development in recent years is blockchain technology, and its uses are expanding quickly across numerous businesses. It is well known for its capacity to adapt to this technology, which aids in the storing of data at locations linked by peer-to-peer networks. Blockchain technology has recently piqued the curiosity of the healthcare industry. Numerous significant issues that currently plague EHR systems could potentially be resolved by it. This essay offers a thorough analysis of the literature on the application of blockchain technology in the medical industry. The focus of this study is the current system used by tertiary institutions to store, access, and safeguard electronic healthcare data. According to analysis, hospitals maintain electronic health records most frequently using client/server architecture. The existing way of processing transactions in Punjab's tertiary institutions has serious issues with data accessibility and data privacy. After assessing the system's shortcomings, research was carried out. The Hyperledger fabric blockchain technology and pluggable PBFT have been coupled to assure the security of healthcare transactions.
