With the help of consensus algorithms, distributed systems can reliably reach agreement even if part of the system is faulty. Blockchain yields many benefits, among others, traceability, transparency, and security. We consider using the RAFT consensus algorithm to achieve robust and scalable decentralized applications, with focus on healthcare. We propose a stylized healthcare network, enabled by RAFT and built upon Hyperledger Fabric to showcase the use of RAFT in healthcare blockchain. However, RAFT is by no means limited to healthcare record systems, and can be applied to any other record system and value chain. Our paper offers several insights to those working in value chains and information management-related fields. In addition, we end our study with some future research avenues that may inspire managers and scholars to build or refine new decentralized systems in healthcare and other related fields.

Electronic medical or health records are prominent examples of healthcare data digitization. However, these records are vulnerable to cyber-attacks and data loss. Careful attention must be paid to data integrity, patient privacy, data management, and storage concerns. Blockchain technology is proposed in the literature to integrate healthcare information systems through a decentralized and unified network. Conceptual configurations of blockchain-based healthcare information systems are conquering the literature. Nevertheless, these studies lack empirical evidence. In response, we employ the design science research methodology and target the healthcare information system in Montreal, Canada. This paper presents an empirical research blueprint that proposes an integrated healthcare information system through blockchain technology.
