Abstract
Blockchain has been attracting considerable attention as a secure and reliable technology for data sharing in different industries such as the financial sector, supply chain, energy, and healthcare. However, while much research on Blockchain focuses on technical and legal aspects of the blockchain applications, such as the cryptocurrency, a few number of research have addressed the factors influencing the strategic adoption decision at the organizational level. In this paper, we conduct a review of existing literature for the application of Blockchain in the healthcare ecosystem. Then, we define the critical issues within the healthcare ecosystem and how Blockchain can provide solutions. Finally, we categorized the influencing factors into three categories: organizational, technological, and environmental factors. This work should help address the gap of knowledge in literature by providing healthcare leaders and researchers more insight into the value and challenging aspects of considering solutions based on blockchain technology.
