Understanding Blockchain and its Role in Healthcare Innovation (Part 2)

Miscommunication between medical professionals costs the healthcare industry a staggering $11 billion a year. The time-consuming process of obtaining access to a patient's medical records exhausts staff resources and delays patient care. Blockchain-based medical records offer a cure for these ills.

The decentralized nature of the technology creates an ecosystem of patient data that can be quickly and efficiently referenced by doctors, hospitals, pharmacists, and anyone else involved in treatment. In this way, the blockchain can lead to faster diagnoses and personalized care plans.

Effective managers, healthcare leaders, must be equipped to manage people and create and sustain strong operational and managerial processes to reduce costs, increase safety, improve clinical outcomes, and allow the organization to compete effectively.

In October 2007 the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) launched the Triple Aim initiative, designed to help health care organizations improve the 1) health of a population, 2) patients' experience of care (including quality, access, and reliability) while lowering—or at least reducing the 3) rate of increase in—the per capita cost of care. Pursuing these three objectives at once allows health care organizations to identify and fix problems such as poor coordination of care and overuse of medical services. It also helps them focus attention on and redirect resources to activities that have the greatest impact on health.
