电子病历（EMR）是医疗保健领域的重要、高度敏感的私人信息，需要在同行之间频繁共享。区块链为所有交易提供共享、不可变和透明的历史记录，以构建具有信任、问责制和透明度的应用程序。这为使用区块链开发安全可靠的EMR数据管理和共享系统提供了一个独特的机会。在本文中，我们提出了我们对基于区块链的医疗数据管理的观点，特别是医疗服务提供者之间的EMR数据共享和研究。我们提出了一个管理和共享癌症患者护理EMR数据的框架。在与斯托尼布鲁克大学医院的合作中，我们在一个原型中实现了我们的框架，该原型确保了对EMR数据的隐私性、安全性、可用性和细粒度访问控制。建议的工作可以显着减少EMR共享的周转时间，改善医疗决策，并降低整体成本。
Electronic medical records (EMRs) are critical, highly sensitive private information in healthcare, and need to be frequently shared among peers. Blockchain provides a shared, immutable and transparent history of all the transactions to build applications with trust, accountability and transparency. This provides a unique opportunity to develop a secure and trustable EMR data management and sharing system using blockchain. In this paper, we present our perspectives on blockchain based healthcare data management, in particular, for EMR data sharing between healthcare providers and for research studies. We propose a framework on managing and sharing EMR data for cancer patient care. In collaboration with Stony Brook University Hospital, we implemented our framework in a prototype that ensures privacy, security, availability, and fine-grained access control over EMR data. The proposed work can significantly reduce the turnaround time for EMR sharing, improve decision making for medical care, and reduce the overall cost.
