Development and Integration of P-POS Consensus in Blockchain-Based EHR Frameworks

Abstract

Blockchain technology has revolutionized the management of Electronic Health Records by enhancing healthcare efficiency, security, and immutability. To achieve an enhanced version of the healthcare framework, we utilize Algorand’s Pure Proof of Stake (P-POS) consensus algorithm, which further ensures decentralized, scalable, and tamper-proof data storage, thereby addressing key issues in EHR systems. This study examines the development of P-POS in healthcare, highlighting its benefits in enhancing patient privacy, interoperability, and data integrity. The conventional healthcare framework suffers from issues such as data breaches, unauthorized access, and inefficiencies in data storage. However, using P-POS may solve these problems, and it acts as a game-changer for next-generation EHR systems. Further, this paper discusses P-POS uses, advantages, and difficulties, establishing P-POS as a crucial facilitator of safe and effective healthcare ecosystems in the future. Finally, the discussion focuses on how this integration can be achieved within a healthcare framework.
