It is well known that online review sites and social media have become extremely popular among youth to search about health information. But the pace at which new knowledge is produced outstrips the ability of any individual clinician to read, remember, and manage information that could inform clinical practice. Every year 1000s of new papers are published in specific field and as a result it has become more challenging for practitioners to stay current The best practice awareness within the medical community can shift rapidly due to this uneven knowledge distribution. Choosing the best practitioner becomes a point-in-time exercise and the ability to quickly identify healthcare professional options who have appropriate experience, up-to-date knowledge, positive feedback from previous consumers and availability is critical in ensuring the best possible outcomes.
Frauds in healthcare system are on rise and thieves try to steal personal identity to lodge fraudulent claims. To combat these, insurance providers rely on third party verification services, which can turn out to be a costly affair per claim. Blockchain, with its inherent property of distributed nature improves transparency and the transactions are immutable. Health FX blockchain will be permissioned through cryptographically validated membership, which governs access and identity management.
Traditionally, Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) have been used by medical institutions but due to centralized nature of these, they lack standardization and in most cases, the information gets locked in silos without much use to the patient. Blockchain will ensure transparency and accountability due to its decentralized nature and will give real time access to up-to-date records to patient. The proposed solution will be a win-win both for consumers as well as for healthcare providers. Accurate pre-authorisation will result in faster transaction settlement and thereby, improved cash flow. For insurance providers, it will lower down the cost as there will be less intermediaries resulting in reduced administrative costs and rapid fraud detection.
