Blockchain: SDoH and Rare Disease Use Cases Funding, Intellectual Property, and Opportunities
Healthcare Blockchain Summit Washington, DC March 21, 2017
Blockchain: SDoH / Rare Disease Panel
After an accident in 2014, I did not know or could not remember all of the different HCPs, doctors, an groups that I spoke with about my health status. I still do not know. Can a blockchain ledger help?
Clinical Systems 25 Years Ago and Today
Incentives
• Satoshi Paid Miners
• We may have to pay patients.

Why the time is right …
Why now? Interoperability – Data and Technology What is consensus on the private or semi-private blockchain? Unstructured Data v Structured Data (“Smart” Data) Ownership “Smaller”, discrete problem, but what's the business model? Other Legal, Regulatory, Ethical
Challenges
Financial Inclusion Analogy Verified Transparency – Access to “Rare” Data Storage Medium v New Class of “Assets” (rewards) Population Health
The Social Impact
• Transaction costs would be reduced, attributable to disintermediation, as well as near-real time processing. This is a lean strategy- making system more efficient.
What keeps us up at night? Opportunity for Blockchain
Given low transaction volumes, this reduces business case for central systems or new edge networks for participating provider organizations
Cost Per Transaction
Population Health Data
What keeps us up at night? Blockchain Opportunities
• Limited access to data
• Available data not actionable
• Distributed, wide access to patient longitudinal health data across the distributed ledger
Interoperability and Waste
What keeps us up at night? Blockchain Opportunities
• Interoperability is a study in futility, especially if cross-state HIEs are allowed, because records are not compatible across systems
• Inconsistent permissions inhibit the health organizations and exchanges from accessing the right patient data at the right time.
• Shared data would enable near real time updates across network to all parties.
• Smart contracts create a consistent, rule-based method for accessing patient data that is permissioned to authorized health organizations
A blockchain-enabled health information exchange could be the answer to unlocking true interoperability. Blockchain-based systems have the potential to drastically reduce costs, eliminate friction and associated waste, and reduce the costs of current intermediaries. These ideas support a more patient-centered system structure.
