THE FOUR YEARS of Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje-led Rajasthan government has witnessed a slew of digital initiatives. To further the pace on the digital path, the state has become the first in India to have a fully developed Blockchain fabric, and a live use case on Blockchain. Akhil Arora, Principal Secretary, Information Technology & Communication, Government of Rajasthan shares his views towards Blockchain implementation and the state's success story with Abhishek Raval
How has the state government used Blockchain technology for managing electronic health records?
The base fabric of Blockchain has been built in a manner that all different applications and services can be moved to Blockchain fabric with complete ease. The platform fully leverages Bhamashah – the state resident data hub for Rajasthan, ensuring that the system adheres and complies to JAM Trinity, integrates with the state identity and can map any benefit being given on the nodes of Blockchain platform itself. The electronic health records are mapped to the Bhamashah ID primarily, and it has been ensured that complete privacy guidelines are complied with. All electronic records, health summary, vitals, reports, prescriptions etc are mapped and are kept on Blockchain fabric, and can be accessed only after due consent of the patient. The system is fully secure, integrated and nonrepudiated in nature ensuring genuineness of data.
What's the rationale for using Blockchain and why not any other technology.
We first need to understand the ecosystem in which eHR or complete iHMS is envisaged to operate. In the state, we are allowing access to our eplatforms and solutions to even private sector through the 'Rajasthan Stack' for betterment of service delivery. Here also, the complete health platform would be leveraged by private healthcare ecosystem along with public healthcare, to provide services. In such a scenario, portability with due security is of utmost importance.
