Comparative Analysis of Blockchain Technology in Healthcare Data Management

Healthcare data management involves the creation, storage, organization, processing, archiving, and destroying of unnecessary data. It involves the processing of management of health data lifecycle. Blockchain technology stores data in a secure and transparent way such that it remains reliable, and cannot be easily altered or tampered. When compared with the traditional security frameworks, blockchain technology provides decentralization and resilience, immutable and auditable records, trust and security through consensus, enhanced privacy and control, improved data interoperability and resistance to data breaches and fraud. In this paper, the importance of healthcare data management, role of traditional security frameworks, usage of blockchain technology in healthcare, its advantages over traditional security frameworks, applications of blockchain technology, challenges and limitations of blockchain technology in healthcare data management is discussed. The research objectives include evaluating the effectiveness of traditional security frameworks in healthcare data management, investigating the potential benefits and drawbacks of implementing blockchain technology in healthcare data management, exploring the importance of blockchain technology in enhancing data interoperability and privacy in healthcare, assessing the potential impacts of blockchain technology in minimizing healthcare data breaches and fraud and analyzing the challenges and barriers to the adoption of blockchain technology in healthcare data management. By addressing these research objectives, this paper aims to provide valuable insights into the importance of healthcare data management, the role of traditional security frameworks, and the potential benefits and challenges of integrating blockchain technology. Ultimately, this research seeks to contribute to the advancement of secure and efficient healthcare data management practices.
