【Abstract】The effective management of medical records is essential in the ordinary and emergency operations of healthcare providers. This work uses blockchain to develop a smart contract algorithm for users of a medical record platform. This algorithm provides immutable execution and addresses authentication and reliability issues to control access to healthcare platforms. An executable distributed code is used to build the smart contract algorithm. In the proposed algorithm, management operations of the clinical history are carried out and integrated in an automated way in a distributed environment. Solidity is the programming language used to create the algorithm for a private and permissioned architecture with a proposed consensus algorithm requiring significantly less computational power using a 22% faster hash function.
