Blockchain Technology for
Healthcare
Blockchain Technology has the potential to disrupt the
healthcare industry’s centralized operations, opening the door
for optimized business and service delivery. The Distributed
Ledger Technology (DLT) is an innovation fertile with the
possibility of improved transparency, security, and efficiency.

without third-party personnel needed to verify documents or
specific steps using pen-and-paper processes. With automation
comes a reduction in the notorious bureaucracy that currently
stands in the way of patients receiving the best care possible.
