摘要

The healthcare industry is increasingly recognizing the need for efficient management of electronic patient records (EPRs). This paper explores the potential of using Hyperledger Fabric (HLF), an open-source blockchain framework, for the adoption of EPRs in the healthcare industry. We investigate the concepts of blockchain, distributed networks, and smart contracts, and analyze how HLF can provide a secure and decentralized platform for storing and managing sensitive medical data. By leveraging HLF’s features such as permissioned networks, chaincode, and private channels, healthcare providers can ensure data integrity, confidentiality, and availability while granting and revoking access to authorized personnel. This paper contributes to the understanding of how blockchain technology, specifically HLF, can revolutionize the healthcare industry and improve the quality of care provided to patients.
