- Transparency: Provides transparent and immutable patients’ record of transactions, which can help ensure that all parties involved in patient care have access to the same information, reducing medical errors, disputes and fraud.

This can help protect sensitive health information from cybersecurity attacks that cost health systems upward of $50 Million plus per incident.
- Smart Contracts: Smart contracts that can automate various processes in hospitals, such as creating unique patient IDs that allow patients validation across multiple systems, consent management, insurance eligibility checks, claims processing and payments, based on predefined rules and conditions. This can streamline operations and reduce administrative costs from 30%-60%.
- Fraud Detection: By analyzing data stored on the permissioned based blockchain, health systems can use advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms (AI) to detect patterns indicative of fraudulent activities considering yearly healthcare fraud claims amount to $380 billion plus yearly.
- Interoperability: Blockchain technology can facilitate interoperability between siloed or different systems and stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem, allowing for seamless sharing of information while maintaining data privacy and security.
