Frequently Asked Questions

Is blockchain technology secure enough for sensitive patient data?

Yes, when implemented correctly. We use permissioned blockchains (like Hyperledger Fabric) which are not open to the public. Access is strictly controlled. All data is cryptographically hashed and encrypted, and the immutable nature of the ledger means any attempt to tamper with data is immediately visible. This provides a level of security and auditability that often surpasses traditional database systems.

How does blockchain comply with HIPAA?

Our solutions are designed for HIPAA compliance. We typically do not store Protected Health Information (PHI) directly on the blockchain. Instead, we store cryptographic proofs and pointers to the data, which remains in your secure, off-chain storage. The blockchain manages access rights and creates an immutable, time-stamped audit trail of every single data access event, which is a core requirement for HIPAA compliance.

Will we need to replace our existing EHR/EMR system?

Absolutely not. Our approach is based on integration, not replacement. We build a blockchain layer that acts as a secure communication and interoperability bridge between your existing systems. This allows you to leverage your current investments while gaining the benefits of blockchain for data sharing, security, and integrity.

What is the typical timeline for a healthcare blockchain project?

Timelines vary based on complexity. A Proof of Concept (PoC) to validate a specific use case can take 2-4 months. A pilot project or Minimum Viable Product (MVP) might take 4-8 months. A full-scale, enterprise-wide implementation can take 12 months or more. We always start with a detailed discovery and roadmapping phase to provide a realistic timeline.

How do you calculate the ROI for a blockchain implementation?

ROI is calculated by looking at both cost savings and value creation. Key factors include: reduction in administrative overhead (e.g., claims processing), cost avoidance from data breaches and fraud, improved operational efficiency (e.g., faster credentialing), and the value of new capabilities (e.g., monetizing anonymized data for research with patient consent).

What skills do we need in-house to manage the solution?

For many of our clients, the answer is none. We offer comprehensive Managed Blockchain Services, handling all the technical aspects of network operation, monitoring, and maintenance. This allows your IT team to focus on their core responsibilities without needing to become blockchain experts overnight.
