The blockchain<\/em> or blockchain<\/strong> it works through a distributed network system, and not as a conventional centralized or decentralized system. It could be said that it is a database, however, its main characteristic is that the data is distributed in a network of computers, which are called nodes and there is also no central entity that controls the data.<\/p>

The data in blockchain<\/em> they are shared publicly, however, only those with the permissions can access them. The blockchain<\/em> promotes collaboration between people and organizations, since it is possible to achieve interactions without prior trust between the actors, since all interactions are recorded. In addition, the participants of a network of this type have two access keys, one private and one public, the latter functioning as an identifier for their data.<\/p>

\u201cInteractions with the blockchain become known to all participants and require verification by the network before information is added, allowing trustless collaboration between network participants while a trail of knowledge is recorded. immutable audit of all interactions,\u201d explains Deloitte.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Blockchain applied in the health sector<\/strong><\/p>\n

Health systems and health organizations can implement the blockchain in different cases and one of the most necessary is interoperability. Via blockchain<\/em>, public or private health systems that provide services to patients can register their clinical data and also use data standards that can be replicated by other organizations.<\/p>

In this way, data transactions are recorded and stored in a blockchain, with key clinical information of the patient, without including identification data. And so health organizations and institutions can transact patient health data to perform more accurate analyses.<\/p>

And most importantly, only patients have the necessary permissions to access their data in blockchain<\/em>, which can be shared with other health organizations and only in this way can all your information be accessed. In other words, an electronic clinical record that would work in any health system that has this data technology.<\/p>

As complicated as it may sound, the use of blockchain<\/em> aims to reduce costs in health systems and provide more power and control over their data to users. However, despite its great benefits, it is a model that represents various technical and organizational challenges, in order to be applied on a large scale in health systems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

El blockchain es un sistema para el registro y almacenamiento de transacciones, es definido como \u201cun registro compartido e inmutable de transacciones de igual a igual creado a partir de bloques de transacciones vinculadas y almacenado en un libro de contabilidad digital\u201d. El blockchain o cadena de bloques funciona a trav\u00e9s de un sistema de red distribuido, y no como un sistema convencional centralizado o descentralizado. Podr\u00eda decirse que es una base de datos, no obstante, su principal caracter\u00edstica es que los datos est\u00e1n distribuidos en una red de computadoras, que se les llama nodos y adem\u00e1s no existe una entidad central que controle los datos. Los datos en blockchain se comparten de forma p\u00fablica, sin embargo, solo aquellos con los permisos pueden acceder a ellos. El blockchain promueve la colaboraci\u00f3n entre las personas y organizaciones, ya que es posible lograr interacciones sin confianza previa entre los actores, ya que todas las interacciones son registradas. Adem\u00e1s, los participantes de una red de este tipo cuentan con dos claves de acceso, una privada y otra p\u00fablica, esta \u00faltima funciona como un identificador de sus datos. \u201cLas interacciones con la cadena de bloques se vuelven conocidas por todos los participantes y requieren verificaci\u00f3n por parte de la red antes de que se agregue la informaci\u00f3n, lo que permite una colaboraci\u00f3n sin confianza entre los participantes de la red mientras se registra una pista de auditor\u00eda inmutable de todas las interacciones\u201d, explica Deloitte. Blockchain aplicado en el sector salud Los sistemas de salud y organizaciones sanitarias, pueden implementar la cadena de bloques en diferentes casos y uno de los m\u00e1s necesarios es la interoperabilidad.  A trav\u00e9s de blockchain, los sistemas de salud p\u00fablicos o privados que prestan servicios a pacientes pueden registrar sus datos cl\u00ednicos y adem\u00e1s utilizar est\u00e1ndares de datos que puedan ser replicados por otras organizaciones. De esta forma, las transacciones de datos son registradas y almacenadas en cadena de bloques, con informaci\u00f3n cl\u00ednica clave del paciente, sin incluir datos de identificaci\u00f3n. Y as\u00ed las organizaciones e instituciones de salud pueden realizar transacciones de los datos de salud de los pacientes, para realizar an\u00e1lisis m\u00e1s precisos. Y lo m\u00e1s importante, es que solo los pacientes cuentan con los permisos necesarios para acceder a sus datos en blockchain, la cual puede ser compartida con otras organizaciones de salud y solo de esta forma se puede acceder a toda su informaci\u00f3n. Es decir, un registro cl\u00ednico electr\u00f3nico que funcionar\u00eda en cualquier sistema de salud que cuente con esta tecnolog\u00eda de datos. A pesar de lo complicado que puede sonar, el uso de blockchain tiene como objetivo la reducci\u00f3n de costos en los sistemas de salud y brindar m\u00e1s poder y control sobre sus datos a los usuarios. No obstante, a pesar de sus grandes beneficios, es un modelo que representa diversos desaf\u00edos t\u00e9cnicos y organizacionales, para poder ser aplicado a gran escala en los sistemas de salud.
