10 May Blockchain – National level implementation
| Approach or solution |
|---|
| This is an example of adoption and implementation of blockchain technology at national level. Estonia is a forerunner in this field, having begun to harness the power of blockchain in healthcare in 2012. Currently, its entire healthcare billing, 95% of health data, and 99% of prescription information is digitally maintained via blockchain. Estonia implemented eHealth as part of broader eGovernment strategy in 2000 and introduced first health services for consumers in 2008.
The services offered are electronic health records for providers, recording of patients diagnosis lab tests procedures and prescriptions on a centralised database. Health providers across the country can access patients health records. Other services are digital registration services to support referrals and appointment scheduling, digital prescriptions and digital image programme. The legal framework supporting this programme included mandated use of electronic health records by providers compulsory citizen ID card and data security and access requirements. |
