Abstract: A ground-breaking method for tackling important issues in healthcare data management is blockchain technology. Conventional healthcare systems frequently have security flaws that jeopardize patient privacy and trust, fragmented data storage, and poor interoperability. This study investigates how blockchain technology can improve data integrity, transparency, and efficiency in healthcare ecosystems. Healthcare organizations can safely store, exchange, and validate patient data amongst hospitals, labs, and insurance companies by utilizing blockchain's decentralized and unchangeable ledger. The study examines important research demonstrating blockchain's uses in healthcare information exchange, mobile health, and clinical data sharing. It also examines how blockchain might enhance clinical trials, health insurance claims processing, and supply chain management. Research shows that blockchain can give patients more control over their medical records while drastically lowering fraud, data breaches, and administrative inefficiencies. But there are still issues with scalability, legal compliance, and legacy system integration. All things considered, the study highlights blockchain as a potentially useful tool for safe, open, and patient-centered healthcare data management.
