Abstract
Electronic Health Records offer real advantages for accessing and storing patient health information, which can improve the management of patient care. However, the attractive features of electronic records (accessibility, portability, and portability of patient health information) also present privacy risks. Organizations need to share person-specific health data without disclosing the privacy of their subjects.
Current mechanisms for effective management and protection of health records in Senegal have proven insufficient. In this paper, we propose a system that addresses the issue of sharing health data between hospitals in a trustless environment based on the Consortium Blockchain to improve the quality of care and the efficiency of the health system in Senegal. After a brief introduction, we present some characteristics of Blockchain as well as the different types and securing of Blockchain using cryptographic algorithms. Then an overview of related work is conducted. Finally, we presented the preliminaries of sharing health records with the Blockchain in Senegal. Our work ends with the description of the functioning of our medical record management mechanism with the Blockchain in Senegal and its implementation.
