Healthcare providers are using emerging technology to implement creative clinical services that support systems. The need for healthcare data sharing necessitates the integration of various departmental structures. However, the exchange of data inevitably imposes constraints on both security and integrity. It has estimated that hundreds of millions of personal medical data have been conceded last year and are growing exponentially. Because of the new decentralized digital technologies such as blockchain, privacy and secrecy have increased over the last few decades. We already have immense support for sectors such as banking, government, healthcare, and more. Healthcare providers have begun applying blockchain technology to allow a safer and more decentralized storing, recording, and exchanging of patient information. This newly developed blockchain technology holds incredible benefits for patient privacy and data security. We learned in this study that there are still many areas to learn about the use of blockchain technology, particularly in electronic healthcare and medicine. The literature is studied to discover benefits, risks, and issues of people and the other side of technology. The study also explored the methods that have been established and commented on their shortcomings and outlined several accessible problems and investigation avenues that are still waiting to discover.
