Review and Preview

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Review and Preview

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Healthcare Agencies II

Healthcare Agencies II

There are various healthcare agencies in the United States—some of which are managed by religious institutions and others by different government branches.
Parish nursing is a growing specialty nursing profession that focuses on holistic healthcare, health promotion, and illness prevention. It blends professional nursing practice with a health ministry, focusing on health and healing within the context of a Christian community. Parish nurses serve as health educators, referral sources,...

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...

Tertiary Healthcare System

Tertiary Healthcare System

Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Computer Science
Information Technology

Background:

Blockchain technology, initially developed for Bitcoin, is increasingly explored for non-financial applications.
The healthcare sector is a key area with significant potential for blockchain integration.
Rapid growth in blockchain research necessitates systematic reviews to keep pace with advancements.

Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a systematic review of current research on blockchain applications in healthcare.
To identify, extract, and analyze relevant publications using PRISMA guidelines and a systematic mapping study.
To provide an overview of the state-of-the-art, limitations, and future research directions.

Main Methods:

Systematic literature review adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.
Systematic mapping study process involving a defined search protocol.
Searches conducted across four scientific databases to identify relevant publications.

Main Results:

Numerous studies propose diverse use cases for blockchain in healthcare.
A significant gap exists between proposed use cases and their adequate prototype implementations.
Limited studies have characterized the effectiveness of these proposed blockchain healthcare applications.

Conclusions:

While blockchain technology shows promise for healthcare, practical implementation and effectiveness evaluation are lacking.
Further research is crucial to understand, characterize, and assess the utility of blockchain in the healthcare domain.
The current state indicates a need for more empirical evidence and robust prototype development.
