In the current healthcare system, patients encounter significant challenges when transitioning to new doctors, often necessitating the cumbersome task of carrying physical certificates, test results, and prescriptions. This process is time-consuming and prone to errors, with a high risk of losing or forgetting critical documents. Moreover, redundant medical tests may be conducted by different doctors, despite the validity of previous tests, leading to inefficiencies and unnecessary expenses.
During major surgeries, accessing a patient's complete medical history, including vaccination records since birth, poses a daunting task for medical staff. This complexity not only delays procedures but also increases the potential for medical errors.
Furthermore, the prevalence of insurance fraud underscores the urgent need for secure and tamper-proof medical data to prevent the creation of fraudulent records.
Addressing these multifaceted challenges requires a solution that streamlines medical record sharing, minimizes redundant testing, facilitates comprehensive data access for surgeries, and ensures the integrity of patient information to combat fraudulent activities effectively.
