Have you ever wondered why healthcare data isn’t centrally located in one database? Why are patient records scattered in numerous places? Ray Dogum joins us today to discuss the present and future of patient healthcare information storage. The current system contains numerous obstacles for both patients and providers and may contribute to potential missed diagnoses or laboratory information. Blockchain technology could provide solutions to some of the workflow issues in healthcare, including scattered patient records.

Ray Dogum argues that blockchain technology could also improve both patients’ and healthcare providers’ trust in healthcare information technologies. If implemented correctly, blockchain technology would give patients more control over who is able to access their healthcare information. Ray Dogum also discusses his own podcast, Health Unchained. He discusses how he started his podcast and how it has given him a unique perspective into the healthcare technology industry.
