Blok-zincir teknolojisi, sağlık hizmeti yönetimi alanında yeni teknolojilerden biridir. Bu teknoloji ile ilgili sağlık hizmeti yönetimi alanına ilişkin öne çıkan zorluklar ve fırsatlar teknolojinin alanda kullanılabilirliği ile yakından ilişkilidir. Bu çalışmada, blok-zincir teknolojisinin sağlık hizmeti yönetimi alanına ne düzeyde penetrasyon sağladığı değerlendirilmiştir. Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanı kullanılarak yayınlar elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen yayınlar R programı kullanılarak çeşitli analizlere tabi tutulmuştur. Yürütülen analizler için kullanılan parametreler biblioshiny ile sağlanan değerler çerçevesinde ele alınmıştır. Veri keşfi ve görselleştirmede ggplot2 paketi kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre, blok-zincir teknolojisi, sağlık hizmeti yönetimi alanı ile en çok elektronik sağlık kayıtlarının yönetimi ile ilişkisi bağlamında ele alınmıştır. Öne çıkan anahtar kavram ve tematik harita bulguları, blok-zincir teknolojisinin sağlık kayıtlarının yönetilmesinde potansiyel bir araç olabileceğini ortaya koymuştur. Gizlilik, güvenlik, karmaşıklık ve sürdürülebilirlik temel zorluklar olarak öne çıkarken; aktif hasta, sağlık kayıtlarının yönetimi, klinik araştırmaların kalitesi ve güvenirliği, ilaç sektöründe izlem ve tedarik süreçlerinde kullanımı ise teknolojinin yarattığı fırsatlar olarak öne çıkmıştır. Genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde, blok-zincir teknolojisinin sağlık verisinin yönetiminde yepyeni bir paradigma olduğu, bu yönüyle sağlık hizmeti yönetimine hasta, sunucu ve ödeyici perspektiflerinden önemli katkılar sağlayabileceği değerlendirilmektedir.

Penetration of Blockchain Technology in Healthcare Management Domain: Challenges and Opportunities

Öz

Blockchain technology (Btech) is one of the new technologies in healthcare management domain. Challenges and opportunities are closely related to the usability of the technology. The study aims to evaluate penetration of the technology in healthcare management domain. Web of Science database was utilized to obtain publications. The publications were subjected to various analyses in the R environment. The parameters were handled within the framework of the values provided with biblioshiny package. The ggplot2 package was used for data exploration and visualization. According to the findings, Btech has been discussed in the context of the management of electronic health records. Prominent key concepts and thematic map revealed that the technology could be a potential tool in the management of health records. While privacy, security, complexity, and sustainability stand out as the main challenges; active patients, management of health records, quality and reliability of clinical trials, and its use in monitoring and procurement processes in the pharmaceutical industry stand out as opportunities. In general, Btech is a brand new paradigm in the management of health data, and in this respect, it can make important contributions to healthcare management from the perspectives of patients, providers, and payers.
