Abstract

The healthcare sector is changing, such as fragmentation issues, the sharing of data, and the security of protected health information. Traditional systems tend to work independently or in silos, resulting in disjointed patient records and system inefficiency. With more trusted healthcare providers, patients relying more on digital solutions than ever, the urgency for a consistent data management solution has never been greater. This systematic literature review (SLR) aims to investigate the existing framework, factors, opportunities and challenges of blockchain technology in healthcare systems. The integrative approach was done according to the PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was carried out on various electronic databases, including PubMed, IEE Xplore, and ACM Digital Library, which gave a total of 832 articles, to begin with. Based on set scale criteria, 18 studies were deemed relevant for analysis. The findings indicate that blockchain technology holds promise due to its ability to facilitate secure and easy data sharing through immutability, cryptographic methods, and the removal of centralized authorities. However, there is a challenge of interoperability, data exchange and security within the healthcare systems and other technologies. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by developing a conceptual framework that helps policymakers, researchers, and practitioners that act as guide to effectively implement blockchain technology in healthcare. The framework addresses key considerations of traditional systems, such as scalability, interoperability, security, and regulatory compliance, and offers a structured approach to resolving current challenges.

Abstract

Fragmented data across the healthcare industry increasingly impedes interoperability, compromises data security, and ultimately interferes with safe and quality patient care delivery. This research introduces a framework that uses blockchain technology to enhance interoperability and data exchange in healthcare environments. Leveraging qualitative methods,semi-structured interviews were held with fifteen health care practitioners at various facilities who gave their insights and perceptions of data sharing and blockchain technology. The findings were thematic and conceptualized through the Technology Acceptance Model, focusing on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, and the Technology-Organization-Environment framework that examined organizational support and regulatory compliance. Thematic analysis identified four main themes, including (i) factors influencing adoption: ease of use with four participants, usefulness with three participants, organizational support with two participants, regulatory compliance with two participants, and technical infrastructure with two participants. (ii)Application areas included patient data management, billing and payment, and remote patient monitoring; (iii) benefits such as a more effective decentralized system, safer storage of data, and patient empowerment. (iv)Challenges included privacy concerns, the costs of implementation and system failure, and patients' knowledge and stakeholders' digital literacy. The findings suggested that stakeholders knew the potential disruption to any blockchain system. However, major issues needed to be addressed before implementation. This research expands the conversation about innovative solutions to health care interoperability. It exposes potential ways to address the challenges to adoption. Recommendations for future research include examining the scalability and integration of blockchain technology across different healthcare environments and addressing the pressing need for empirical evidence regarding its real-world applications and impacts.
