Blockchain Is Bringing Changes In American 
Healthcare Industry
The penetration of Blockchain in the healthcare industry has escalated to the next 
level. We are no more talking about white paper about the future changes that 
Blockchain can bring to the healthcare sector; instead, we are witnessing some 
significant changes in the healthcare sector.

 If a few years back, if we would have said that we will have a platform that there 
will be a direct interaction between two individuals without any third-party 
intervention, then many would have baulked. But, this has become a reality today. 
There are various startups, and even bigger tech moguls are plunging in the pool 
of Blockchain to make applications that can help the healthcare sector.

Blockchain and healthcare
There is a lot of health data that a patient has, and maintain all this data can be 
troublesome. At the same time, there is a problem of counterfeit drug that hounds 
the healthcare sector. As per the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s 
Office for Civil Rights mentioned the fact that medical data breaches have 
increased. In 2015, around 100 million Americans healthcare data was taken out.

Besides, healthcare is becoming expensive. As per the Centers for Medicare & 
Medicaid Services (CMS), U.S. healthcare spending reaches a mark of $3.5 trillion 
(or $10,739 per capita) in 2017, which is 17.9% share of the U.S. GDP. And this 
data is expected to reach $5.5 trillion by 2025. With all this information, and data 
Healthcare information becomes a key attraction to cyber attacks. Also, accessing 
the huge volume of data using the conventional system can be a daunting task. 
Besides, conventional platforms are prone to attack and threats and are 
centralized. With the help of Blockchain, we can expect the changes to come in by 
making the platform more secured and free from attacks.

Blockchain can help in improving data security, syncing vast data and integrating 
it. Counterfeit of drugs is also a problem. Around 10% of the medicines sold in the 
Aisa are counterfeited. This is a big problem, and this problem majorly arises 
because of the bottlenecks and lack of transparency in the supply chain system. 
With the help of Blockchain, we can quell these issues.

Blockchain has defenestrated the bottlenecks of the conventional platform. 
Blockchain Expert and engineers have worked on this technology. They have 
been able to separate the wheat from the chaff, thereby creating a technology that 
has helped Blockchain mature and provide the solution to the healthcare sector.

Blockchain technology offers a decentralized platform which can be easily 
accessed by the people in the network. Also, it’s a decentralized platform, thereby 
allowing healthcare professionals to access the data. Besides, Blockchain offers a 
transparent platform that offers provenance. This feature will help improvise the 
supply chain system, thus reducing the counterfeit drug issue.

Conclusion- With all this, and the expansion of the healthcare sector, Blockchain 
provides the right solution to make the healthcare sector work and perform more 
efficiently. Hence, there is going to be a demand for Blockchain engineers and 
Blockchain developers who can help in rendering Blockchain solutions to the 
healthcare sector. If you also wish to make a career in the field of Blockchain 
technology and healthcare, then this is the right time to start the Blockchain 
development training or opt for an online Blockchain Certification by Blockchain 
Council.
