It could make a more efficient system, but I do think there is a price for the users ends coming with. The privacy, imagine a world where every medical act is written in a blockchain, and accessible to anyone. Perhaps, you're not interested to let everyone in your street know you have cancer, Aids, mental problem, or whatever.
So it would have to be a private blockchain.

I agree if the blockchain system is applied to the world of health (medical) because all records will be very transparent and will be very amorous compared to medical records in the form of physical paper which may be stored for long periods of time being obsolete, if using the blockchain system then all data will be recorded neatly in accordance with the timestamp that occurred, and will not be lost as long as the system is still in use
Blockchain removes corruption and makes all aspects more transparent. Perhaps this is why its adoption is difficult.
While there are certainly some benefits, one shouldn't forget about the problems associated with the use of blockchain in the healthcare industry. A good description of the possible problems with this solution are summarized is the following post:
The problem is that a blockchain is a public, immutable, trustless, decentralised ledger. Anything data you include in a block is there to stay.
- What if the patient changes his mind? There is no way to "erase" his data
- What if data that is considered harmless at this point in time, becomes something of great intrest/value to for example insurance companies (for example, at this moment in time, you think it might be a good idear to record your pollen alergy into a blockchain, but in 50 years pollen alergies get linked to a specific type of terminal iless and an isurance company decides to double the premiums for everybody having a pollen alergy based on this data
- I've also heared some companies saying that anonimising the patient's data is the sollution, but what if the key gets leaked? What if one of the hospital's databases gets breached and a hacker is able to link each anonymous key to a real life person?
Yeah, with Blockchain technology, doctors can store patient data safely and permanently, there are so many benefits of blockchain technology in the medical field, in my opinion, the blockchain must be implemented immediately to welcome the future
many ico have themes about health, and ico they are successful, but most when price of bitcoin is still good, around 2017. the medical world does need it, because patients don't seem to run out 
Talking about Blockchain in the health sector, the blockchain system is an anonymous network to prevent violations of privacy and confidentiality in the health sector,
obviously, in this case intelligence, blockchain based is something that can improve blockchain applications in the United States and on a global scale.
"For that Blockchain innovations for health, with blockchain technology has the ability to increase the accuracy of payments, services, administration, medical services and speed, which will benefit health, providers, and consumers",
in other elements blockchain can be said to be part of a series of strategic actions taken by health. By implementing blockchain technology for health services, and for the development of other innovative blockchain technologies, this is very good and good for health development.

Here's where my ignorance of blockchain tech comes in. It sounds revolutionary--but I'm concerned about patient confidentiality. There are already centralized databases in my state that track controlled substances and who gets prescriptions for them. That sort of thing can be abused in ways you can't even imagine. How could you keep a decentralized database of patient data and keep it secure and yet useful for the medical professionals who need it?
A guy gets injured in Indiana, but he's from Rhode Island and all his medical info is in R.I. How does the blockchain help the doctors in Indiana treat the guy at their hospital? I could think of systems where blockchain tech wouldn't be necessary at all, so would it be any safer for the patient and/or more convenient for docs/nurses/pharmacists to have a blockchain solution? You have to be very careful how medical information gets shared because of HIPPA laws.

Seems a good implementation. It would turn easier for the medics to know the patient's records with accuracy and it would give more transparency to the patients to see who are the medics that are caring them. The medics' records are very important too, there are medics who commit mistakes and have their mistakes omitted by those who have access to the records.
A transparent and free system for all like Blockchain is urgently needed.

Maybe in USA it might work considering there are really shady healthcare stuff going on there but in general other countries already solved many of the healthcare problems so I do not think it would be wise to spend so much time on implementing blockchain into healthcare if it is not going to help them that much.
I mean if USA decides to make one for themselves, sure other countries could give it a try but they don't need it to create it themselves. USA have charges like 20 thousand dollars for a root canal or 500 thousand dollars for cancer treatment and so forth, those are basically "please die" from the governments and hospitals. Why would anything charge that much ?
It worths fraction of what they are charging. I have actually seen a hospital charging a couple for holding their new born baby titled "skin to skin care". Any wise rich person in a such ruthless capitalist system should start opening smaller cleaner and leaner hospitals charging less and make it a whole country and they can make a lot of money if they just undercut each other.

Blockchain technology has successively broadened and has become one of the most popular innovation in the field of technology. The blockchain is now a mature field which is now being spun out into various applications and the definition says ‘The Blockchain is a public ledger for recording every transaction happening in a particular network'.
Here are some of the most familiar properties of Blockchain:
1. Digitalized
2. Decentralized
3. Democratic
4. Distributed ledger
5. Transparent
6. Immutable and Indelible
7. Trackable
8. Auditable
9. Safe and secure
10. Efficient
11. Scalable
12. Economical
The blockchain is a distributed ledger, which can be used for recording transactions and storing transaction details. It tracks every asset placed on a network. There is no central authority in a blockchain system, meaning all transactions are recorded, stored and shared overall network participants. The applications of Blockchain are expanding beyond all the initially defined possibilities, For eg. trading, file storage, identity management, medical records management, and education etc.
Through this blog, Let's look at how pivotal this new form of technology will help the healthcare industry grow.
An accurate medical record is essential for proper healthcare management. Perfect medical records are fundamental for the care and safety of patients. One cannot consult his health with the same medical expert throughout his life. Sooner or later of life, he may need to approach some other specialist too. So the past medical records need to be displayed to the new one.
The healthcare industry is completely immersed in data like clinical trials, patient medical verification, complex billing, medical research, drug development and more.
Let us take an in-depth dive of blockchain in healthcare industry.
