Abstract:
This article proposes a blockchain-based system to address the inefficiencies of the current healthcare credentialing process that contribute to workforce shortages. Leveraging blockchain's unique features, the proposed system aims to reduce time, cost, and labor, offering significant time savings, increased trustworthiness, and enhanced staffing resilience. Real-world blockchain examples demonstrate the feasibility of this approach. The study concludes that a blockchain-based credentialing system could streamline healthcare credentialing, enhance preparedness for future challenges, and improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.
