The conference, termed as Blockchain in Healthcare, a Rock Stars of Technology Event, will be on the day of Wednesday, February 22, at the HIMSS Annual Conference and Exhibition.
The event is being provided by the IEEE Computer Society and is being co-hosted with the Personal Connected Health Alliance. Organizers say the event will give healthcare business and Information technology professionals with the knowledge they require protecting and secure data; electronic health records (EHRs), connected devices and health information exchanges with blockchain technologies.
Proponents of blockchain technology consider that it could have wide applicability in healthcare. It enables the collection of data from a variety of sources, and keeps an audit trail of transactions, hence developing accountability and transparency in the data exchange procedure.
