DeMystifying Blockchain: What You Need To Know

Blockchain is one of the biggest buzzwords in technology right now and it promises to redefine many industries. But what is it? And why are all your friends and family talking about it?

Join Jefferson alumni for an informative online conversation about Blockchain in the healthcare industry led by Mike McCoy, Adjunct Professor at Thomas Jefferson University’s Institute of Emerging Health Professions, and Blockchain Implementation Manager at Accenture.

Learn how Blockchain has the ability to bring competing healthcare providers together through an anonymous data exchange that protects shared information from compromising an individual business. By allowing hospitals to interoperate certain information, Blockchain can eliminate the traditional competition among providers, payers and patients focused on who owns what data. This new technology also allows products and pharmaceuticals to be tracked and traced from their source of origin, and gives patients the ability to better control their personal data.
