The blockchain technology, for long, was only associated with
the financial sector. But now, the applications of this disruptive
technology are gradually finding its way into the healthcare sector
as well. We have talked about the benefits that the healthcare
industry can gain with the help of blockchain technology previously
on our blog “Will Blockchain be Successful in Making Room for
Itself in the Healthcare Industry?” Blockchain technology can help
healthcare companies to access and share patient data securely.
Although, in practice, the implementation of the same is not as

Challenges in blockchain adoption in
healthcare:
Although the healthcare sector is slowly getting digitized,
healthcare companies still rely on paperwork for many processes.
Therefore, it would be difficult for them to shift to electronic
health records on a short notice. For any industry, altering
consumer’s behavior and changing their routine functions is
challenging as well as time-consuming. There are high chances of
resistance from the employees. Therefore, companies in the
healthcare sector need to figure out ways to convince their
employees and provide adequate training to implement new
technologies like blockchain. To gain detailed insights into our

Healthcare is distributed
At present, insurance payers and healthcare providers are not in
sync when it comes to handling records. Therefore, it would be very
difficult for them to adopt blockchain technology. Also, if any of
the partiers are not ready to accept these changes, then the
usefulness of the whole system goes to waste. To know more about

- Unwillingness to disclose
data
There are several cases where the hospitals are not willing to
share their exact cost data with insurance companies. The prime
reason for this is insurance companies charge different rates for
different patients. In such cases, implementing advanced
technologies such as blockchain would not be an easy task.
