Findings from National Institute of Technology Provides New Data on Information and Data Security (Qfbn: Quorum-based Federated Blockchain Network for Healthcare System To Avoid Multiple Benefits and Data Breaches): Information Technology – Information and Data Security

2024 APR 17 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- Data detailed on Information Technology - Information and Data Security have been presented. According to news reporting originating in Tiruchirappalli, India, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Healthcare organizations are responsible for maintaining and auditing the claims received from policyholders or service providers. The traditional system of storing and auditing claims is centralized to the corresponding organizations.”

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the National Institute of Technology, “As the centralized auditing system does not allow the integration of the claims among different insurance organizations, an individual policyholder or a service provider may submit claims to more than one insurance organization to get multiple benefits. Multiple benefits can be avoided by collaborating with the authority of different organizations. However, collaborating different organizations raise the privacy and security concerns. Hence, in this article, we propose a quorum-based federated blockchain (QFBM) network, a privacy-preserving decentralized system to integrate health insurance claims of different organizations in a secure manner. The performance of the proposed QFBN framework in avoiding multiple benefits and providing privacy and security which is analyzed in terms of security incidents, mean time to detect, and mean time for vendors incident response are compared with the decentralized frameworks that developed for detecting healthcare frauds using blockchain.”

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “Based on the empirical results, it is observed that the QFBN framework provided an environment with better security for exchanging healthcare information.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
