Description

Shirin Hasavari and Pouyan Esmaeilzadeh reported this health systems study in 2024. When a patient must move between hospitals, staff must pick the right grade of ambulance care. That pick is hard when the crew cannot see the patient's records in time. Privacy rules and clashing record systems block the flow of data.

The pair built ITC-InfoChain, a web platform that shares patient data on a locked chain of records. Hospitals load coded patient facts to a shared ledger. The ward that will take the patient, and crews on the road, can open the facts through an app. Tests showed the system stayed quick even as loads grew, with most deals done in a few seconds. The authors say wider trials could spread the tool across regions.
