This Is How Healthureum Will Enable Better Service Delivery In Hospitals

Frankly, it is not only disappointing but also cruel that patients are forced to wait for long periods just to get their lab results or treatment in hospitals. In most cases, human errors during billing and claims processes precipitate into an unpleasant patient experience as well. This is why Healthureum is set to take up a proactive approach that will mitigate human errors while ensuring efficiency and better service delivery in medical institutions.

Here is how this will be facilitated in the project.

Doctor referrals

Through data systemization, a patient's data shall be stored on the Blockchain where it will be tamper-proof thanks to the immutable nature of Blockchain technology. Furthermore, with the nature of health data being highly sensitive, Blockchain's cryptographic protection will mitigate the risk of cybercriminals and hackers getting access to patient data. Healthureum also hopes to establish a referral program that will enable interoperability. Therefore, patients will be able to get referrals to specialists on the platform and safely share health data with the specialist so as to receive better treatment. As a matter of fact, the specialists and practitioners on the platform will be vetted thus reducing the risk of patients falling into the hands of quack doctors. As a result, patients will have convenient access to locally registered specialists and the health practitioners, on the other hand, will better deliver their services. 

Consultation

This is perhaps one of the biggest selling points of the Healthureum. Basically, doctors and patients will have an easy time thanks to what Healthureum proposes. The project will allow patients to enjoy the convenience of getting a second opinion on their symptoms without necessarily visiting a hospital. How? Well though Healthureum's interoperability, a permission layer will be established where patients can securely and privately share their symptoms either via video or audio files on the Healthureum ecosystem. For health caregivers, this will be an easy way to deliver reliable service especially since the patient will be paying directly, therefore, incentivizing hospital workers. Furthermore, doctors will have access a longitudinal view of a patient's health records, therefore, enabling accurate treatment for better service delivery.

Research programs for better treatment

Learning and research are the backbones of advancement in healthcare and medical cure. After all, medical research does not only benefit a select few but the entire human species. This is why healthureum is poised to set up a research program that will advance medical cures and deliver better treatment to patients. How this will work is dependent on the ability of Healthureum's Blockchain network to guarantee data integrity. Simply put, every piece of data collected from the research will remain properly monitored and tamper-proof once it's recorded on the Blockchain. Furthermore, with Healthureum's interoperability and scalability, practitioners, governments, and medical institutions will be able to use the data from research to take up proactive treatment trials, especially in fields such as Cancer, Diabetes and HIV/AIDS. Patients will also be incentivized to share and volunteer their medical data to health-related programs through rewards using the Healthureum token HHEM. This will contribute towards establishing social responsibility in the long run.  

Medical infrastructure 

Even with most medical institutions putting a huge chunk of their budgetary capital allocation to medical infrastructure, there are still many inefficiencies that make it hard for health providers to deliver exemplary service to patients. Basically, there are no tools that enable assessment and recording of data from each piece of medial infrastructure. As a result, most infrastructures are outdated or even misused with hospitals spending millions on items that are rarely used. This is why healthureum is hoping to establish a Blockchain enabled solution that will help hospitals collect data such as infrastructure authenticity, maintenance schedules and patient demand and usage statistics.  Eventually, patients will benefit from well maintained, and upgraded infrastructure and hospitals will realize better return on investment with a tool that also guarantees medial supply chain reliability. 

Philanthropic activities

Finding resources for conducting medical research programs can be extremely capital intensive. This is why healthureum proposes a philanthropic activity program that will see to it that philanthropists join the bandwagon of making global healthcare better. This does not only apply to medical research programs. Healthureum hopes to leverage upon the popularity of healthcare with philanthropic activities to build a platform that is accountable using smart contracts that will see to it that each fund is traceable therefore putting an end to the doubt and stigma of funds getting lost. This way, hospitals around the globe will receive the confidence of philanthropists as they deliver better services with funding from well-wishers.
