Blockchain technology, being one of the disruptive technologies, has revolutionized the entire healthcare industry. The current healthcare ecosystem model includes a number of stakeholders that add cost and complexity to the ecosystem. The number of participating stakeholders include pharma manufacturers, pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs), healthcare providers, consumers, retail pharmacies, and drug wholesalers. These participating stakeholders increase the complexity of setting up the prices of medicines. For instance, PBMs negotiate the price with drug manufacturers and pass on the reimbursement of health plans which results in low prices of medicines. However, due to the lack of visibility in the transaction process, PBMs earn more profit from the drug manufacturers that increases the overall cost of medicines for the patients.
Smart contracts help to reduce such hassles and complexity. The shared ledger capability of a healthcare blockchain offers complete visibility to all stakeholders and allow patients and healthcare providers to negotiate complex bundle claims. Additionally, integrating smart contracts solution with healthcare reduces the claims adjudication process, making it seamless. It also eliminates middlemen such as PBMs, retail pharmacies, and drug wholesalers that in turn reduces the complexity of setting up the prices of drugs.
On the other hand, lack of systems integration capabilities and technical expertise associated with smart contracts in healthcare are some of the challenging factors that can hinder the growth of the smart contracts in healthcare market over the next few years.
