‘Mad Libs’ for blockchain: Fill in the blanks now to avoid mistakes before it’s too late

The potential of blockchain to fix the healthcare system is often compared to a word game, with its ability to solve problems and reimagine processes.

It is important for doctors to educate themselves about blockchain to ensure that they have a role in shaping its governance and implementation in healthcare.
