Abstract

In general, hospital procedures require a large number of medical reports, which are an essential component of the process. Hospitals are now increasing their business by integrating pathology and other test laboratories into the hospital for efficient and speedy reporting, as well as increased income. Hospital operations cover a wide range of functions, from patient admission and management to hospital expenditure management. This, together with additional services such as pathology and pharmacy management, adds operational complexity and makes it harder to track. To address this issue, we employ blockchain technology to keep track of every single transaction with 100% authenticity using the hyperledger idea. All transactions are encrypted and saved as blocks to enable authentication over a network of computers rather than a centralized server. Further-more, we employ the hyperledger idea to associate and preserve all of the medical papers linked with each transaction, including the date stamp. This enables for the authentication of each report, which will be identified if edited by anybody.
