Blockchain technology is a secure and distributed information accounting, storage, and retrieval modality which has the ability to disrupt and revolutionize business practices. One such disruption resides in the capability of Blockchain to serve as a secure method for storing and sharing electronic medical records in new and innovative ways. Current medical record storage and transmission methods are proprietary and have interoperability and security problems. To that end, secure, effective, and interoperable electronic records options are highly prized. This article uses a grounded theory approach to qualitative analysis of electronic medical records users in the United States to develop a perspective from industry and scholarly practice on the suitability of Blockchain technologies for electronic medical records, security, and storage.

用于安全和可共享电子病历的区块链生态系统的特征

区块链技术是一种安全且分布式的信息记账、存储和检索模式，具有破坏和彻底改变商业惯例的能力。一个这样的破坏在于区块链作为一种安全方法以新的和创新的方式存储和共享电子病历的能力。当前的病历存储和传输方法是专有的，存在互操作性和安全问题。为此，安全、有效和可互操作的电子记录选项受到高度重视。本文使用扎根理论方法对美国电子病历用户进行定性分析，从行业和学术实践的角度出发，探讨区块链技术在电子病历、安全性和存储方面的适用性。
