Healthcare rallies for blockchains

Healthcare organizations may not be the hidebound institutions many claim them to be. They appear to be setting the pace on blockchain adoption, slightly ahead of the financial industry. They see substantial opportunities for business model innovation in most of the areas we surveyed, more than other industries we’ve studied to date. Paradoxically, healthcare executives don’t anticipate much disruption ahead. In short, they see new possibilities everywhere, but expect their industry as a whole to remain relatively closed to upstart competitors. A dense web of regulatory constraints, they figure, may uphold the status quo. To read more go to ibm.biz/blockchainhealth
