Abstract
To protect personal patient information and comply with regulations, data security is a necessary aspect of the healthcare business. Because patient data is written on paper and stored in filing cabinets, it is simple to protect and secure it. However, all data is now saved digitally, such as patient records, which are now stored on computers, servers, and storage devices. Poor wireless network security, data breaches, legacy system use, malware, viruses, and other hostile attacks are all risk considerations in health care. When compared to other businesses, one of the key reasons to safeguard health care data is that healthcare companies gather and provide comprehensive patient records, including the date of birth, address, and social security number. This paper aims to discuss the issues and solutions to achieving digital healthcare using blockchain technology.
