Abstract

This century resulted in a surge of changes and revolution in technology by and large in the networking domain. As a result, metadata became an integral part of the service exchange cycle in service domains such as networking integration, management, and maintenance, and information security. The recent pandemic posed threats to many service sectors, namely health care (a reported increase in data breach and identity theft of 37%), proving the importance of data privacy and immutability. The metadata obtained entail the interoperability of data records. Thus, blockchain-based innovations emancipate data breaches, data mutability, and interoperability crashes of sensitive data. In this chapter, we will encounter case studies of health care breaches, a review of the existing literature, and work flow of the existing applications. Work that proposes consistency in interoperability and immutability, along with consensus protocols for decentralization also gains from blockchain environs. The flow determines the patient or stakeholder’s sensitive specifics can be classified and viewed with the authentication or authenticated personnel in sine qua non. The work provides preferable health care management and is unquestionably superior to the Environmental Health Safety (EHS) service.
