What are The Five Possible Use Cases of Healthureum in the Healthcare sector?

The escalating cost of obtaining healthcare services has hindered access to better healthcare to most patients. Most families know cannot afford to offer good quality healthcare services to their loved ones, and the ones that can afford to cash out such huge medical bills have been forced to sell their assets or possibly use all of their lifetime savings.

There was that need for patients of whichever economic background to get access to better and affordable healthcare. Then, this leads to the crafting of the Healthureum Innovations in 2016 which is banked upon to provide answers to most of the challenges that have been experienced in the healthcare sector. Then, what are the possible uses of Healthureum in the Healthcare sector?

Master Patient Index Use with Healthureum

Currently, there are bureaucratic procedures required for any individual to access patient's data in Healthcare facilities. Even the patients himself has to sign documents and pass through a variety of checkups in order to obtain his or her own data. This aspect will be done away with the adoption of the concept of the master patient's index.

Healthureum can be used in the management of the patient's data. This will lead to an improvement in standardization and the possible prevention of interoperability in systems. Moreover, Healthureum network can also be used in the ownership and the transportation of the patents data from one end to another and between different parties.

Stclaire (who is a former chief innovation officer at conduit health) affirms that Healthureum use will provide a remedy to the various challenges that health system develops like having a mismatch in their data and the saving of duplicate records files. Moreover, StClaires affirms that the master patient's index concept may be used by almost the entire Healthureum Network and it may improve the patient's data integrity which will lead to:

The patients sharing their identifiable data with doctors and other health practitioners.

Patients also sharing some unidentifiable data with research programs

Patients are having that chance to share their data for any research purpose in an anonymous form.

Claim Assessment use with Healthureum.

Claim assessment evaluation has been a subject of discussion among client and insurance companies. Most of times, clients fail to ogre with the system used by most insurance companies in claim assessment. This may make the patient to suffer huge losses, and sometimes they end up losing the claims due to a possible provision of faulty information. 

Forbes estimates that about 5-10 % billing costs are due to a possible overbilling and at times the billing is done for non-performed services. The adoption of Healthureum in the Healthcare sector may provide a remedy by eradicating all the human errors that may lead to the loss in claim assessment. The use of smart contract will ensure that claims are issued based on the satisfaction of the predefined terms.

Automation of a large number of the claims will ensure that there is a smooth flow of the processing and the payment of claims. Furthermore, this will greatly reduce patient's loss through ensuring that there's a smooth process of the preparation of the cost of disputes and the reconciliatory accounts.

Interoperability Use with Healthureum

 Healthureum allows for the Interoperability use in the healthcare sector. Interoperability principle ensures that there is an ability of two or more systems to share, exchange and use given information. The principle forms the basis of the patients owning their own data. The patient can choose to provide access to other parties which they seem deem to. This is not the case currently in the healthcare sector as Health workers can gain access to patient's medical data at given times an example is while they are storing the data or in an instance, the patient has requested for their data.

The principle can also be used when two or more hospital needs to share the patient data for treatment or referral purposes. A given hospital may be able to pull or push the patients' medical data without the need of changing the form in which the patient's data was stored in. There will also be no need to replicate the data in any given form. After all, they will be accessing the data from the same system.

By the fact that the Healthureum based system uses enabled IT systems that are cryptographically secured and are irrevocable, we expect that there will be a decline in the cost of data reconciliation and that there will also be an update of both real-time and historic data which is privy for its users.

Longitudinal Health Records use Case with Healthureum

Most families bank on their family health practitioner for the storage of day to day health records. In some instances, where it will arise the need of the family member to visit another healthcare service provider, it will be a daunting task for the new service provider to acquire a longitudinal view of the patient's state of health. However, decentralized Healthureum systems may aid in eradicating these flaws. The system will provide a longitudinal view of person health which could lead to the development of more efficient treatment plans to given patients. This will greatly improve patients experience and trust regardless of the source where they get medical attention.

Supply Chain Use with Healthureum

The supply chain is vital to both human resource and medical management. The Healthureum network aims at accounting for employment contract and wages records. This will greatly ease up human resource works in the Healthcare sector. Moreover, through the Healthureum Network, we can follow given medical infrastructure that has been put in place in the healthcare sector.

 We may be able to get rid of instances of the manufacture and supply of counterfeit drugs which has a market value of about $200 Million on a global platform. (According to a research done by the World Health Organization). It's expected that the Healthureum network will be able to track the production process and the shipping of drugs from one place to another.

In conclusion, with the adoption of Healthureum into the Healthcare sector, we expect to revamp the nature and functionality of this sector. Let's hope for the best as the process is being installed in different phases.
