【Abstract】On the one hand, data provenance provides the history of the origin of data and updates the modification cycle on one side, on the other hand, blockchain offers features that meet these immutability requirements of a version of data. These two technologies have applications and features that, in union, contribute to generate ideal technological structures to the management of data in several organizations. The objective of this study is to present an analysis of the relations between the main applications of data provenance as well as the blockchain features and point out applications in the Health Information Systems (HIS), in addition to a literature review on the theme. In regard to that, an analysis has been made as described in this study methodology, where the following questions were answered: i) What relations are there between data provenance and blockchain? ii) Can data provenance in union with blockchain contribute to applications in the HIS? Soon after, it was possible to prove through some of the studies present in the literature the combined use of data provenance and blockchain in HIS. Based on the relationships found between data provenance and blockchain, it was possible to conclude that these relationships contribute to data management in any organization, including HIS. It was also observed that different data provenance and blockchain methods, techniques, models, and methodologies are intertwined to generate the structures of data management in HIS, especially in Personal Health Record (PHR) and Electronic Health Record (EHR).
