- Abstract
- Ever-growing and rapidly changing healthcare information systems (HIS) encourage many new technologies to integrate with it to enrich the treatment and facilitate patients. Blockchain, a decentralised digital ledger, is legitimately disrupting traditional HIS due to its characteristics such as immutability, interoperability, decentralise, and security. Blockchain' applications in healthcare industries are attracting investors and organisations to develop platforms for future. However, security and privacy concerns hinder blockchain adoption in the health sector. Therefore, there is a need to develop deeper understandings about these issues and require strategies to address these issues so that the desired values can be obtained. Besides, privacy could mean different to different people such as patients, doctors, and admin staff. Therefore, there is a need to explore it from various stakeholder perspectives too. Using interpretive qualitative research approach, this research-in-progress will extend the body of knowledge by scrutinising the stakeholders' perception of privacy concerns and its relationship in blockchain based HIS. The findings of this study will contribute to address privacy issues emerged from the research and help to eliminate them before implementing blockchain. This paper supplies an appropriate research approach for multidimensional research in healthcare. In addition, this research-in progress will formulate a framework which provide awareness to stakeholders about privacy issues when they use blockchain based HIS in future. © 2022 ACM.
