Blockchain possible in Dutch hospitals?

This paper addresses the general question ” What is the relationship between the use of blockchain and the impact on data processing in Dutch hospitals’’. It occurs that a patient in the healthcare industry has different medical data which are not centralized in one specific database. Based on a quantitative survey that is conducted amongst young (20 till 40) and old (41 till 61) patients, the research investigates the possibilities and impact of blockchain in Dutch hospitals. In addition, the educational level of the participants were also taken into consideration. The paper contributes insights of the impact of blockchain on patients with regard to their wellbeing. Implementing blockchain within hospitals results in a positive impact on the wellbeing of a patient and could help hospitals with fragmented soloed data and delayed communication. However, the wellbeing are more positive for young people than for older people.
