| description | Technological acclimatization in today's healthcare industry is a subject of new inventions. The worldwide Covid-19 epidemic has led to increase in the use of technology for healthcare supply chain, patient data management, and claims settlement. Data management in healthcare industry is a complex structure where multiple organizations provide proper supply chain services in day to day life. Improper data management disrupts the supply chain, which has a long-term impact on the healthcare sector. Various issues in the present supply chain must be addressed. Blockchain-based crypto-currencies are well-known nowadays for their ability to create safe and traceable solutions. With the growing use of crypto-currencies, it also governs new range of applications and opportunities, including healthcare applications. Blockchain-based solutions are effective in the health sector for secure data retrieval and storage, resulting in more effectual product creation and tracking. Such system can provide data provenance, promotes genuine healthcare sector demands, and ensures the immutability of multi-direction transactions. In this study, we contribute a thorough overview of the literature on how Blockchain technology is changing the way healthcare supply chains operate. We looked at 61 papers from 2019 to 2021 that highlighted various difficulties with the traditional healthcare supply chain. We scrutinized different barriers and opportunity of Blockchain-based healthcare supply chain at the end of the research. |
