Blockchain Technologies in Healthcare Institutions: Focus on Security and Effective Cooperation with the Government

Abstract

Purpose: This article considers the relevance of healthcare modernization processes in Russia in terms of marketing activities activation, public-private partnerships intensification. Design/Methodology/Approach: The problem of ensuring security when government and healthcare institutions interact by means of blockchain technologies is under-explored and requires further research and investigation. Therefore, methods of induction, deduction, problem, system and logical analysis along with the economic process and system modelling method combined with the formalization method are used in this article. Findings: A mechanism for effective ensuring the safety of interaction between the government and healthcare institutions using blockchain technologies in the course of conducting financial flows and operational information exchange in modern Russia is proposed. Practical Implications: The proposed mechanism for effective ensuring of security in terms of interaction between the government and the healthcare institution by means of blockchain technologies in modern Russia effectively ensures the security of interaction between the government and healthcare institutions. Originality/Value: Authors' findings could be introduced into the healthcare industry.

A readiness assessment framework for Blockchain adoption: A healthcare case study

“…Governments: They are regarded as the most important stakeholder as their involvement in blockchain adoption can be multifaceted. First, they can themselves implement blockchain solutions to make public sector services more efficient, secure, and transparent (Nugent et al, 2016;Przhedetskiy et al, 2019). Second, governments can encourage other stakeholders to implement blockchain solutions by designing blockchain-friendly legislation or by providing related funding or incentives such as tax exemptions (Clohessy and Acton, 2019).…”

“…The European Commission Research & Innovation Program has developed a pilot project, "Blockchain-Enabled Healthcare," in partnership with Novartis on the Ethereum platform (Dimitrov, 2019). Russia has also effectively rolled out blockchain technologies in the healthcare sector, using effective public-private partnerships (Przhedetskiy et al, 2019).…”

Never the twain shall meet? Knowledge strategies for digitalization in healthcare

“…These studies are in line with knowledge management studies, suggesting the organizational structure, practices and routines that can leverage employees' specialized knowledge, promote continuous learning and facilitate knowledge sharing are crucial to achieving the quality and efficiency of service delivery (Kim et al, 2012;Mittal, 2019;Sánchez-Polo et al, 2019;Van Beveren, 2003). The second line of enquiry focuses on knowledge generation through digital technologies like big data and Blockchain (Foshay and Kuziemsky, 2014;Pavlou et al, 2007;Przhedetskiy et al, 2019;. For example, Wang and Byrd (2017) focused on the business analytics capabilities, i.e., transforming clinical data into insights, knowledge and informed decisions in healthcare organizations.…”

Applications of blockchain in government education sector: a comprehensive review and future research potentials

“…The application of blockchain has extended to various fields such as banking (Guo and Liang, 2016; Hassani et al 2018, Garg et al , 2021), health care (Dimitrov, 2019; Przhedetskiy et al , 2019; Tandon et al , 2020), supply chain operations, energy generation, education and so on (Pankaj et al , 2020). On the other hand, blockchain technology resulted in digitalization and decentralization, which created a lifelong learning approach (Loukil et al , 2021).…”
