Abstract: Healthcare systems around the world are beset by problems due to the lack of effective communication. Significant problems relating to patient medical records access, transition, and storage have persisted due to the lack of resources to adequately interact and track records between all main participants. To overcome this challenge, a nationwide Electronic Health Record (EHR) solution may be utilized. To further enhance EHR efficiency, Blockchain technology can be used to improve security, performance, and cost. In this survey, various literature proposing Blockchain-based EHR systems are discussed, along with their benefits and potential research gaps. Also Authors proposed a comprehensive architecture that could bridge all the gaps.
