Electronic health records are one of the essential components of health organizations. In recent years, there have been increased concerns about privacy and reputation regarding the storage and use of patient information. In this regard, the information provided as a part of medical and health insurance, for instance, can be viewed as proof of social insurance and governance. Several problems in the past few decades regarding medical information management have threatened patient information privacy. In intelligent healthcare applications, the privacy of patients' data is one of the main concerns. As a result, blockchain is a severe necessity as it can enhance transparency and security in medical applications. Accordingly, this paper uses the design science method to propose a secure blockchain framework for healthcare records management systems. The proposed framework comprises five components: a blockchain network, smart contracts, privacy key management, data encryption, and integration with healthcare information technology. In the proposed framework, healthcare organizations can manage healthcare information securely and privately. Additionally, a secure storage system for electronic records is proposed to meet these organizations' needs. It provides security and privacy for healthcare organizations, especially when managing healthcare information, and also proposes a secure storage system for electronic records to meet the needs of the organizations.
电子健康记录是医疗机构的重要组成部分之一。近年来，人们对患者信息存储和使用方面的隐私及声誉问题愈发关注。在这方面，例如作为医疗和医疗保险一部分所提供的信息，可被视为社会保险和治理的证明。过去几十年里，医疗信息管理方面的若干问题威胁到了患者信息隐私。在智能医疗应用中，患者数据的隐私是主要关注点之一。因此，区块链成为一项迫切需求，因为它能够提高医疗应用中的透明度和安全性。相应地，本文采用设计科学方法，为医疗记录管理系统提出一个安全的区块链框架。所提出的框架包含五个组件：区块链网络、智能合约、私钥管理、数据加密以及与医疗信息技术的集成。在所提出的框架中，医疗机构能够安全且私密地管理医疗信息。此外，还提出了一个电子记录安全存储系统以满足这些机构的需求。它为医疗机构提供安全和隐私保护，尤其是在管理医疗信息时，并且还提出了一个电子记录安全存储系统以满足各机构的需求。
