241  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Blockchain/DLT decentralize healthcare administration in the US and globally on: September 17, 2017, 01:22:57 PM
Blockchain applications have been surging in a number of different industries. According to Deloitte, 35% of health and life sciences companies surveyed plan to use blockchain, and 28% of respondents plan to invest $5 million or more (10% plan $10 million or more). The industries implementing blockchain are numerous and are led by real estate, supply chain and others. Within healthcare, a number of companies have begun implementations of blockchain in various areas of applications-including Gem (in collaboration with Philips Healthcare Blockchain Lab).

I do recognize the advantages of blockchain tech but for a system that involves so much state supervision the changes needed would perhaps be too extreme to implement in order to introduce it to health care. I think that use in the health sector would only come if there ever was major adoption in the private sector.
I agree. It’s a long period of implementation and it wouldn’t take a one day .

Everyone can agree that modern healthcare system leaves a lot to be desired. Patient is excluded from most decisions. Administrative transactions are so complicated that they can weeks even months. Coordinating care is manual and frustratingly difficult.

This leads to inefficiencies, waste, fraud, and over-utilization.

Proper application of Blockchain/DLT gives us an opportunity to decentralize the administration and coordination of healthcare, in a manner that will bring clarity and efficiency to the system.

We can actually optimize and automate much of the friction associated with the 3rd party payment model. And we can fundamentally change the way care is coordinated. The result will be savings of billions of dollars every year and perhaps more importantly, engagement and empowerment of consumers and care providers.
What is it that healthcare is lacking now? Is it that the clearence for payments in single payer systems isn't all that fast, or could you be talking about non single payer systems? Either way, I think that manual procedures are necessary to some extent when it comes to health-care. Sure, blockchains are good for transactioning, rpoof of payment and perhaps even record keeping but I wouldn't see them becoming a major part of helathcare orgs

The advantages of blockchain are obvious, but with any new technology there are questions about efficacy and efficiency.

The benefit of blockchain in healthcare would take place across the entire supply chain spectrum. Contractual agreements between payer and patient or provider and patient (or between provider and payer) would be implemented with the use of smart contracts within the blockchain. Smart contracts lead to efficiencies as they enable a reduced number of intermediaries that exist today which lead to more streamlined transactions. These transactions would enable a more holistic view of the patient’s record for all parties involved and lead to an increase in transparency.

Beyond contractual transactions, clinical transactions based on electronic health records would also occur on the blockchain. This would enable clinicians to have access to different components of the patient’s data throughout the patient’s lifetime with an increase in transparency (this access would be controlled so that providers have access to data only on a need-to-go basis).

Improvements in the supply chain from blockchain would be extended to drug companies and manufacturers, as well as improvement to pharma clinical trials and longitudinal health research for the patient.

ETH is for long-term investment.
246  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you read ICOs white paper before investing? on: September 17, 2017, 11:33:48 AM
Reading the whitepaper is the first thing you have to do before investing. It is really important to understand the project and the idea of it. There are a lot of scams too. Everybody has to be accurate, not to lose assets.
247  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Alt coins worth buying on: September 16, 2017, 05:57:51 PM
I think Ethereum has future.

Hi!

What soft do you use to support customer online on your website? Your experience on this?

249  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO discussion on: September 15, 2017, 10:04:38 AM
Many ICOs appear everyday, but it doesn't mean that all of them are bad projects. Some of them have great ideas. And ICO becomes more popular everyday. It's worthwhile to invest to a solid project.
250  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Effects of ICO ban in China on: September 15, 2017, 09:47:20 AM
It would help and prevent a lot of scams.
Less scams - more legit projects.
251  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum: Good alt or stay away? on: September 15, 2017, 09:09:52 AM
If investment in long term, Ethereum is good choice after Bitcoin of course. But it's not for short term investment.

How to login to authorship account?
253  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How does Bitcoin affect other Crypto? on: September 15, 2017, 08:31:59 AM
Bitcoin is also a cryptocurrency. The value of crypto depends on market’s demand. If Bitcoin is in demand, the opposite happens in other cryptocurrencies. Just need to choose the good altcoin and be careful of where to invest.

257  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Being Unemployed Drives People to go to Bitcoin on: September 08, 2017, 09:47:12 AM
Employment is a problem of every country and it’s true that being unemployed drives people to go to Bitcoin. The 21st century is full of new technologies. A lot of people understand it and would like to be a part of something new and promising, which could give a great output. To work with Bitcoin, doesn’t take any skills or having an education. You just need to have an understanding of Bitcoin and desire to do that. That’s why people integrate themselves into Bitcoin and Blockchain Technologies.
258  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The next Bitcoin? on: September 08, 2017, 09:25:04 AM
Of course it’s possible that one day this could happen. The same is with fiat money, they are changing every day. But Bitcoin is more stable cryptocurrency and price for it rises always. So now, there is no reason to be worried about it. If you have an opportunity to make an investment, it’s time to do that.
259  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How did you first hear about bitcoin? on: September 08, 2017, 09:08:59 AM
I actually discovered  Bitcoin in 2010 reading an article on a forum. From that point I observe it everyday.  I can say that Bitcoin is very promising and worthwhile to invest.
260  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in ICO, still promising? on: September 07, 2017, 01:54:46 PM
ICO is still promising due to its quality projects and offerings of smart contracts. But I recommend to research full about that ICO before investing.
