摘要：
Recently, blockchain technology has attracted a lot of interest from different researchers and academics due to its unique properties like immutability, interoperability, and confidentiality. However, to date, their adoption in the healthcare sector is still very limited. Few studies applied a systematic literature review (SLR) for blockchain adoption in healthcare. In this research study, the first contribution is to identify the factors that influence the adoption of blockchain by applying the SLR approach, understand how these factors are interrelated, and discuss the main challenges of blockchain adoption. The findings demonstrated that, the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), the technology acceptance model (TAM) and its extension were the most popular models used for blockchain adoption. Then, we identified the key research gaps and proposed a conceptual framework to address the identified gaps to be a reference and guide for organisations adopting blockchain in healthcare.
