Healthureum Aims at Reducing the Level of Disparity between Public and Private Healthcare Systems

Image
Research indicates that the health care spending ranges increases between 2015 and 2020 ranges from 2.5% to 7.5 %. This is because of the inadequate medical infrastructure making it hard for public health care systems provide quality and affordable services. Healthcare is presumably the highest family expense regarding experimental programs, ongoing treatments, and health insurance and emergency cases. The disparity between the private and public sector is one of the causes of the increased costs. Insurance providers, practitioners and healthcare institutions take advantage of the patients’ desperation to pay everything they can afford and recover. The Project Healthureum through its blockchain technology removes the potential risks of human manipulation, delays in prognosis, data mismanagement, and access limitation. Healthureum is dedicated to eradicating all the variables between the public and private sector to ensure, affordability, consistency, and transparency of healthcar...

Healthureum and the Crossing Over of Blockchain Technology to Healthcare

Image
Blockchain technology is the new disruptive technology best known for being the force behind Bitcoin’s success. Some can’t even tell difference between the two. They use the two interchangeably. One can’t blame them because it sounds true to a certain extent. However, blockchain technology is more than just the force behind cryptocurrencies. It is the force behind other technologies. Its reach is beyond what we think it. The best part is that it is highly customizable and can be adopted in any industry. When it was being developed less than a decade ago, its primary focus was being the platform upon which the first digital cash was going to be built. It has since achieved that feat and registered other several milestones along the way. It has been used in several industries including security because of the groundbreaking features that have embedded in it. This is even more welcome news rampaged and ravaged by cybercriminals who commit cybercrimes just for fun and because they...

One of the Major Pitfalls in Today's Healthcare Industry is the Long Waiting Periods for Appointments or Procedures. Here's How the Healthureum will Tackle it is Once Fully Implemented

Image
I bet you have visited a hospital once in your life and ended up getting worse in the waiting area as the institution waits for either the doctor to arrive or as you wait for your turn. These waiting periods are notably worse in an emergency situation where the Healthcare organization is required to not only record the patient’s medical data but also confirm if they have any insurance. Lack of insurance coverage might see a patient wait for hours on end in agony as they solicit funds from relatives and friends who in most instances are unwilling or unable to help. Not to mention, healthcare facilities offer different services because of the lack of proper infrastructure. In these modern times, a hospital is supposed to have both the expertise from qualified medical practitioners and the help of technological innovations such as 3D printing or artificial intelligence for accurate diagnosis and better treatment plans. However, the healthcare facilities with these improvements are c...

One of the Biggest Wins of the Implementation of Project Healthureum will be the Introduction of Longitudinal Health Records. Here's why

The current Healthcare system does not have a streamlined system of maintaining the medical health records of patients. This is because currently, medical institutions are operating under a centralized EHR database system where all the data is controlled from one central position, and other users need the authorization to access this data. Another drawback is that medical institutions customize their EHR systems to suit their processes particularly. This lack of standardization makes information sharing difficult, coupled with the additional rules and regulations that restrict the sharing of data across medical institutions. This makes it difficult for doctors to get a longitudinal view of a patient’s medical history due to the difficulty in accessing their previous health records. This is especially the case when patients’ are used to visiting their family general practitioner for their everyday health concerns, but need to visit a specialist or different doctor for a specific...
