摘要：
Blockchain, a breakthrough technology, offers solutions to several healthcare challenges, includes Managing and sharing data securely, making different systems work together seamlessly, increasing transparency in the supply chain, giving patients more control over their health information, and adhering to regulations and guidelines. This paper offers an in-depth study of current literature on blockchain in healthcare. It covers areas that have been investigated, studied and implemented by previous research, provides valuable insights, and introduces practical suggestions. Research findings indicate that blockchain has the capacity to improve data security, privacy, and immutability. It can also facilitate effortless data sharing among different parties involved, enhance transparency in pharmaceutical supply chains, empower patients in managing their health information, and address regulatory concerns. The results of this study recommend Healthcare organizations to consider implementing secure transaction protocols to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of their data. Also, to explore the use of Hyperledger Fabric architecture, a blockchain framework specifically designed for enterprise applications, Implementation of Secure Transaction Protocols, Utilization of Blockchain for Data Sharing, Adoption of Lightweight Consensus Protocols. By leveraging blockchain technology, healthcare businesses may securely share data with other trusted parties, improving interoperability and data exchange. Additionally, adopting lightweight consensus methods can help streamline decision-making processes within the organization. Future research shall involve the integration of blockchain technology with artificial intelligence and data analytics, the establishment of decentralized parallel healthcare organizations, the integration of blockchain with cloud computing, and the resolution of regulatory and standards difficultie. © 2024 Slovene Society Informatika.
