Data Security
Confidentiality of data is very essential for a health organization. Patient's data are not to be accessed by unauthorized personnel. The Bitcoin and Blockchain technology provides a decentralized and secure means of data storage. Leveraging on this technology will help to secure healthcare data.

The BTC blockchain is public and transparent, and whichever data in it is open to everyone, patients hospital data should be private and should not be open for everyone to see, so nobody is going to use the BTC blockchain to store patients data in a hospital. I have not heard of patients data being at risk when stored in the hospitals record book, it is even when it is on the blockchain that it can be accessed by 'unauthorized personnel'.

Well it’s gonna be anonymous anyway we wouldn’t have the complete information of the patient if I am understanding it correctly I think this could be helpful for medical students but I also think a lot of unusual people would use it for weird things. Maybe someone with access to patient records detailing diseases could fake their own diagnosis. I don’t know what op means exactly but this does not seem too realistic if the blockchain were to be applied on to medical records.

I think bitcoin would still be beneficial in terms of finance. I am sure most patients’ and their families have troubles with insurance and healthcare and bitcoin could definitely help with that.
