Project Healthureum will Streamline Public Healthcare Delivery By Creating a More Competitive Environment. Here's How

Project Healthureum holds the key to streamline the public healthcare system by radically transforming the way the sector conducts its activities. Public healthcare delivery is currently below par as there is a considerable gap in the difference in the quality of service provided between the private and public healthcare delivery. The project seeks to create a more competitive environment in the public healthcare sector which will see public hospitals and other medical institutions strive to improve the quality of services they are rendering or risk being faced out by the competition.
Public Healthcare institutions currently use an EHR system which is a centralized database where all the data is stored and controlled from there. Unfortunately, this creates barriers for quickly accessing the data within the database. Project Healthureum, however, uses the blockchain technology which is a decentralized database which allows for data to be stored on a network of computers and allows the data to be accessed real time. Using this technology, Healthureum intends to create a more streamlined and competitive environment in the public healthcare delivery in the following ways:

By Enhancing Increased Efficiency


Project Healthureum can use the Blockchain technology to facilitate data sharing across its platform to the different public healthcare institutions in real time. This means medical practitioners will be able to access their patient’s previous medical history data from other hospitals and be in a better position to understand which treatment to offer to the patient. Likewise, patients can receive their medical results within a short period from their doctors. This smooth flow and exchange of information will result in significant reduction in the amount of time and resources used to secure quality medical care as well as increasing the patient satisfaction. This improved efficiency in communication will give healthcare institutions using Healthureum’s blockchain technology a more competitive edge over those institutions that are still on the old EHR system that is slow and restrictive in data sharing across health institutions.

By Reducing the Cost of Accessing Quality Healthcare

Project Healthureum seeks to reduce the cost of accessing quality healthcare through innovative means on its platform. The blockchain technology can store the all the data of its patients and make them readily available to all the qualified medical practitioners in its database. Therefore, through use of innovative solutions such as video consultations, referrals and second opinions, patients from all over the globe can access treatment from expert medical practitioners regardless of which part of the world they come from.

This will significantly cut down the expenses involved in accessing treatment including travel costs. Project Healthureum also uses Healthureum tokens (HTH) as its medium of currency and hence it reduces the cost of international fee exchange rates as all services are paid for using the tokens on their platform. The tokens also have no delays compared to cash payments which might have delays, especially during international transactions. This means medical institutions on the platform will be able to provide affordable healthcare to patients, and it will increase the competition in the sector.

By Promoting Professionalism among Medical Practitioners
The Healthureum platform through its blockchain system can store a registry of the data of all the qualified medical practitioners who have been verified on its platform. The registry information stored on the blockchain system is immutable and tamperproof. The data is tracked by use of timestamps which show the time when every record or transaction was carried out and once stored no one can alter the information of previous files stored in the database.

This medical practitioners’ registry contains information such as their school, certifying boards, licenses, and affiliations and continually captures and updates their data throughout their careers. This means patients can easily verify the qualification of their doctors on the platform and chose to work with those they are comfortable with. This also means the end of quack doctors masquerading as qualified practitioners because they would be easily found out on the platform. This increases the competitiveness of the industry as all medical practitioners will be forced to comply with the best industry practices and get the required qualifications and licenses.

By Reducing Industry Fraud

Project Healthureum’s blockchain technology also has a feature known as the smart contract. This feature as the name suggests is a self-executing contract that approves a contract automatically once all the agreed upon requirements are met. The automation of this process means no manual intervention is needed when handling contracts and this dramatically reduces the risk of human errors and cases of fraud.


By using this technology along with the use of timestamps which tracks all transactions, public health institutions can significantly reduce incidents of fraud. Insurance industries would not be able to overbill patients and patients would be able to have their claims assessment processed quickly. This will increase the competition in public healthcare delivery as patients will prefer public medical institutions that can provide them with these services. More information visit https://www.healthureum.io/
