Blockchain

I am out from under a beautiful rock. What is Blockchain? 

 I learned about it yesterday at a health care conference. If you've heard about Bitcoin, you've heard about Blockchain. For me, learning about blockchain put the whole bitcoin explosion in a new light.

Blockchain is a way to storage data that allows for multidirectional usage. It allows many users to securely access, share but not copy the same information. It is the genius creation by a group of people with the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.

I can see immediate use for in regards to Supply Chain management in Health systems.  If it is guaranteed that our protected health information (PHI) stays so, it will revolutionize the way healthcare is delivered, and be a great benefit to case management.
