Electronic Health Records System Based on Quorum Blockchain

Abstract

This study explores the integration of Quorum blockchain, a permissioned blockchain developed by JPMorgan Chase, as an alternative to the critical challenges faced by the healthcare system in electricity. In the changing healthcare environment, technology innovations such as EHR systems are essential to improve patient experience, efficiency, and data management. However, electronic medical records have faced issues related to reliability, validity, data security, and interoperability, which have impacted their adoption and performance. The authors present a robust framework that ensures data integrity, privacy, and patient empowerment by leveraging Quorum’s decentralized, tamper-proof ledger and advanced encryption technology. Quorum’s decentralized architecture eliminates points of failure, increases reliability, and supports integration between different healthcare systems. Quorum's consensus and privacy features solve major problems with availability and security, ensuring secure and highquality data management. This study shows that the Quorum blockchain can revolutionize the EHR system by providing a secure, interactive, and patient-focused approach to managing medical records, ultimately boosting patient outcomes and efficiency. By integrating this, healthcare organizations can overcome the inherent challenges of EHR systems and pave the way for a new era of clinical excellence through technology. The proposed system leverages Quorum's unique features, like distributed models, proof of concept, and advanced cryptography, to enhance the integrity, confidentiality, and patientcentricity of EHR systems. Addressing key issues such as reliability, usability, data security, interactivity, and patient empowerment, this research aims to transform the storage, validity, and use of health information to improve patient and operational efficiency in healthcare.
