Abstract

When it comes to the kind of work that falls under this category, there is no room for taking any risks whatsoever. The health care industry is an especially delicate one in which every decision must be made with the utmost caution. The data of patients are transferred from one institution to another as the primary focus of the BC technique in the health care industry. As a result of the fact that many concerns either avoid doing it or do it in an unreliable manner, there is a significant amount of uncertainty regarding the dependability of the data generated by a concern. Therefore, using the BC technique when sharing data about health care will result in the creation of trust regarding the data that is shared. It is a question worth a billion dollars whether people will have access to health care records in this global arena. This is due to the fact that maintaining the data's integrity is essential in order to keep track of patients or to develop new solutions to diseases by maintaining a record of the health history. This will also help researchers who are working in a particular field to come up with solutions to recurrent health problems.
