Abstract

Blockchain technology is a distributed ledger technology that enables transactions between two or more parties to be verified, executed and stored in a secure, transparent, immutable manner without an intermediary organization. With the development of smart contracts, legal contracts between the parties have been automatically verified and operated without intermediaries, leading to the use of blockchain technology in many sectors such as food, energy, real estate, construction, and automotive. In the field of healthcare, blockchain technology draws attention with its potential to fundamentally transform the health ecosystem. In this study, the meaning, structure, functioning, types, usage areas of blockchain technology, smart contracts and usage areas of blockchain technology in the field of health services are shared with current application examples. Many advantages such as the secured sharing of personal health data with doctors, clinical researches and precision medicine with the patient permission, optimization of administrative processes and cost reduction as a result of intermediary transactions, and prevention of product counterfeiting as a result of increasing information security and traceability of products in supply chain management, based on the use of blockchain technology in the field of health services were also discussed. This article, which was designed as a structural review, was created by scanning studies on "blockchain technology", "smart contracts" and "blockchain technology in health services" in the national and international literature.

Özet

Blokzinciri teknolojisi, aracı bir kuruluş olmadan iki veya daha fazla taraf arasındaki işlemlerin güvenli, şeffaf, değiştirilemez bir şekilde doğrulanması, gerçekleştirilmesi ve depolanmasını sağlayan dağıtık bir defter teknolojisidir. Akıllı sözleşmelerin (smart contracts) gelişimi ile taraflar arasındaki yasal sözleşmelerin aracısız bir şekilde otomatik olarak doğrulanması ve işlerlik kazanması sağlanmış, blokzinciri teknolojisinin gıda, enerji, emlak, inşaat, otomotiv gibi pek çok sektörde kullanılır hale gelmesine yol açmıştır. Sağlık hizmetleri alanında ise blokzinciri teknolojisi sağlık ekosistemini temelden dönüştürme potansiyeli ile önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, blokzinciri teknolojisinin anlamı, yapısı, işleyişi, çeşitleri, kullanım alanları, akıllı kontratlar ve sağlık hizmetleri alanında blokzinciri teknolojisinin kullanım alanları güncel uygulama örnekleri eşliğinde paylaşılmıştır. Blokzinciri teknolojisinin sağlık hizmetleri alanında kullanımından yola çıkarak oluşan kişisel sağlık verilerinin hastaların izni ile doktorlar, klinik araştırmalar ve hassas tıp çalışmaları ile güvenli paylaşımı, aracısız işlemler sonucu idari süreçlerin optimizasyonu ve maliyetlerde azalma, tedarik zinciri yönetiminde bilgi güvenilirliğinin artışı ve ürünlerin izlenebilirliği sonucu ürün sahteciliğinin önlenmesi gibi pek çok avantajı da ele alınmıştır. Yapısal bir derleme şeklinde kurgulanan bu çalışma, araştırma verileri için ulusal ve uluslararası literatürde “blokzinciri teknolojisi”, “akıllı kontratlar” ve “sağlık hizmetlerinde blokzinciri teknolojisi” ile ilgili çalışmalar taranarak meydana getirilmiştir.
