- Abstract: Blockchain technology has rapidly evolved from an enabling technology for
cryptocurrencies to a potential solution to a wider range of problems found in
data-centric and distributed systems. Interest in this area has encouraged many
recent innovations to address challenges that traditional approaches of design
have been unable to meet. Healthcare Information Systems with issues around
privacy, interoperability, data integrity, and access control is potentially an
area where blockchain technology may have a significant impact. Blockchain,
however, is a meta-technology, combining multiple techniques, as it is often
important to determine how best to separate concerns in the design and
implementation of such systems. This paper proposes a layered approach for the
organization of blockchain in healthcare applications. Key issues driving the
adoption of this technology are explored. A model presenting the points in each
layer is explored. Finally, we present an example of how the perspective we
describe can improve the development of Health Information Systems.

Various data-sharing platforms have emerged with the growing public demand for open data and legislation mandating certain data to remain open.
Most of these platforms remain opaque, leading to many questions about data accuracy, provenance and lineage, privacy implications, consent management, and the lack of fair incentives for data providers.
With their transparency, immutability, non-repudiation, and decentralization properties, blockchains could not be more apt to answer these questions and enhance trust in a data-sharing platform.
