Abstract

Claims (32)

1 . An electronic record data blockchain system configured to process a transaction, comprising:

one or more computer-readable storage media configured to store a blockchain; and

one or more processors programmed to execute computer program instructions that, when executed, cause the computer system to:

receive a query related to a user, the query including identifying information associated with the user;

generate, in response to a determination that a current record exists for the user, a first single-purpose ID for a user, wherein the first single-purpose ID enables a blockchain system to use the first single-purpose ID instead of the user identifying information;

receive a first electronic prescription;

initiate a first transaction on the blockchain using the first single-purpose ID, the first electronic prescription, and no user-identifying information;

automatically receive preferences or legal requirements related to the user;

implement a smart contract configured to define workflow processes, triggering events, or pricing based on the automatically received preferences or legal requirements related to the user, and write an edit record to the blockchain;

generate and write a close record to the blockchain including output from the smart contract;

based on the output from the smart contract, initiate one or more digital currency transactions related to the first transaction once the close record has been written to the blockchain; and

abandon use of the first single-purpose ID after the close record has been written to the blockchain, wherein abandoning the use of the first single-purpose ID after the close record has been written to the blockchain prevents exposure of information from a subsequent transaction associated with another single-purpose ID, such that any potential compromise of the first single-purpose ID compromises information from the first transaction and not the subsequent transaction.

2 . The electronic record data blockchain system of claim 1 , wherein the smart contract is used to streamline payments between stakeholders and the user.

3 . The electronic record data blockchain system of claim 1 , wherein the smart contract determines the final payment amount paid based on certain conditions.

4 . The electronic record data blockchain system of claim 1 , wherein the smart contract prompts the user to make a selection via a user device.

5 . The electronic record data blockchain system of claim 1 , wherein the blockchain system mitigates data discrepancies for electronic patient data.

6 . The electronic record data blockchain system of claim 1 , wherein once the first transaction is completed, the first single-purpose ID can only be used to read information associated with the first transaction from the blockchain.

7 . A method of processing a blockchain transaction, the method implemented by a server system comprising one or more processors executing computer program instructions that, when executed, perform the method, comprising:

receiving a query related to a user, the query including identifying information associated with the user;

generating, in response to a determination that a current record exists for the user, a first single-purpose ID for a user, wherein the first single-purpose ID enables a blockchain system to use the first single-purpose ID instead of the user identifying information;

receiving a first electronic prescription;

initiating a first transaction on the blockchain using the first single-purpose ID, the first electronic prescription, and no user-identifying information;

automatically receiving preferences or legal requirements related to the user;

implementing a smart contract configured to define workflow processes, triggering events, or pricing, based on the automatically received preferences or legal requirements related to the user, and write an edit record to the blockchain;

generating and writing a close record to the blockchain including output from the smart contract;

based on the output from the smart contract, initiating one or more digital currency transactions related to the first transaction once the close record has been written to the blockchain;

abandoning use of the first single-purpose ID after the close record has been written to the blockchain, wherein abandoning the use of the first single-purpose ID after the close record has been written to the blockchain prevents exposure of information from a subsequent transaction associated with another single-purpose ID, such that any potential compromise of the first single-purpose ID compromises information from the first transaction and not the subsequent transaction.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the smart contract is used to streamline payments between stakeholders and the user.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the smart contract determines the final payment amount paid based on certain conditions.

10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the smart contract prompts the user to make a selection via a user device.

11 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the blockchain system mitigates data discrepancies for electronic patient data.

12 . The method of claim 7 , wherein once the first transaction is completed, the first single-purpose ID can only be used to read information associated with the first transaction from the blockchain.
