| dc.description.abstract | This study of the literature delves into the complex area of medical systems interoperability, focusing on mitigating variables that impact security and data
transfer at the structural and semantic levels. In the era of digital healthcare, the
secure sharing of medical data is crucial, and this study looks at how Distributed
Ledger Technologies (DLTs) can play a major role in addressing these challenges.
Complex interoperability issues that come from differences in communication
protocols, data formats, established data structures, data models, and data
meaning and codification methodologies face the healthcare industry. These
problems typically impede the seamless transmission of electronic medical records between healthcare systems. Because of their decentralized structure and
cryptographic foundation, DLTs offer a workable solution to these issues. By critically evaluating previous research and case studies, DLTs may be able to lessen these interoperability issues, as this
literature review illustrates. Since DLTs provide an immutable and secure platform for the transmission of medical
data, guaranteeing data integrity and confidentiality, they are a natural fit for the sensitive nature of healthcare data. Their importance in creating safe communication protocols, enhancing the meaning of data, and defining models and formats for data is emphasized in this review. A comprehensive architecture for DLT interoperability in
healthcare is also recommended by the research. This framework encourages the development of DLT integration,
shared data models, standardized data formats, and governance and policy. By implementing this strategy and
strengthening secure medical data sharing, healthcare organizations and governments may increase the efficiency,
precision, and speed of healthcare delivery. The crucial role that DLTs play in removing the structural and semantic
barriers to safe medical systems interoperability is highlighted in the conclusion of this literature review. By adopting DLTs, the healthcare sector may usher in a new era of standardized, safe, and efficient medical data transmission, which will ultimately benefit both patients and healthcare providers. This study shows how distributed ledger
technologies (DLTs) have the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry by enabling the secure and meaningful exchange of medical data between different systems, thereby improving patient care and healthcare outcomes. | en_US |
