Blockchain technology is gaining attention in the healthcare industry due to its potential to integrate healthcare information across different stakeholders. However, healthcare organizations have been hesitant to adopt blockchain due to its complex implementation process. Collaboration and mindset shifts are necessary to overcome this hesitancy. Common use cases for blockchain in healthcare include supply chain management, credential validation, data security, and administrative tasks. The appeal of blockchain lies in its transparency, efficiency, and security. However, healthcare has unique challenges that have hindered adoption, such as the need for hybrid technology stacks and protection of sensitive data. Shifts in mindset and processes are required to boost adoption in healthcare.
