Blockchain Adoption, Implementation and Integration in Healthcare Application Systems

Abstract

This paper examines the state of the research in the field of blockchain implementation and integration in healthcare. Seven papers retrieved from ACM Digital Library were classified into three categories, including adoption, implementation, and integration. Based on this brief literature review, we conclude blockchain adoption has been covered thoroughly. Our primary contribution is an up-to-date classification of current research papers in the field of blockchain technology in Healthcare. We also identify understudied research areas, potential areas for future research work. There may be a need for additional research in the areas of blockchain implementation and integration for healthcare systems.
