Often times we attribute the benefit of Bitcoin only to financial and economic sector of various businesses and nations. Have we ever thought about the benefit that the  Bitcoin network will have if implemented on health care? Especially now that it is rising faster than we expected
Here are some of the benefit I can think of:

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.
In this aspect under confidentiality it could have made a sense to me if you were implying on having hospital patients data stored in a decentralized sort of wallet just as bitcoins are stored as to be accessible only to the holder in the case the patiently alone and whoever the patient gives access to his seed phrase but under a blockchain tech it's impossible for the confidentiality to be achieved. Don't forget that blockchain is decentralized and can be accessed by anyone and that's against medical ethics in exposing patients data to public.
