Abstract
Today, technology dominates businesses across all scales and sectors, including healthcare. Blockchain (BC) is a pivotal technology in this transformation. It securely stores medical data, updates clinics seamlessly, enhances workflows, and thwarts hacking threats. However, research on BC's implementation challenges for patient services remains limited. This chapter investigates these challenges, categorizing BC into public, private, hybrid, and consortium forms. Major obstacles encompass interconnectivity, security, standardization absence, storage limits, hospital hesitancy, patient mistrust, cost, limited medical proficiency, and data governance. Overcoming these hurdles is crucial for widespread healthcare BC adoption, despite the abundant opportunities. In comparison to other technologies, BC's unique issues require deeper exploration. Researchers can scrutinize BC comprehensively for its business potential. This chapter stands as a prominent effort in pinpointing and analyzing BC's integration in healthcare.
