Title of the paper : Investigating Blockchain-Based Patient Record Management Systems for Safe and Efficient Data Sharing: Revolutionizing Healthcare

Abstract: Electronic health records EHR sharing systems stand to benefit greatly from blockchain technologys ability to increase efficiency, security, and privacy. Unfortunately, like conventional database systems, current solutions that depend on a central database are vulnerable to old-fashioned security issues including Denial of Service DoS attacks and a single point of failure. A patients medical record is a treasure trove of information useful for both current and future medical care and scientific inquiry. To keep the data private, however, it must be kept and exchanged in a safe manner. Due to its decentralized and immutable nature, blockchain technology has found extensive use in healthcare data management. The healthcare sector is showing a lot of interest in blockchain-based patient record management systems because of the possibilities they have to enhance data security, transparency, and interoperability. Our study offers a comprehensive review of several blockchain- based patient record management system implementations, including private blockchain, smart contracts, tokenization, decentralized applications D Apps, and consortium blockchain. We compare and contrast the methods, and we look at how electronic medical record systems built on blockchain fare in terms of performance metrics. Finally, we bring attention to the difficulties and potential solutions for future study and development in this area. Based on our research, it seems that patient record management systems built on the blockchain may revolutionize healthcare by facilitating safe, effective, and person-centered data exchange
