Not very far from now (looking into the future, Scotty and Captain Kirk), health information will be a worldwide web.
Mayor players are diving into this trillion dollar business.

Health information will need to be accessible, and blockchain can be used to guard all interaction between systems.
You can find dozens of documents which handle about this.

In the Netherlands Nictiz is busy with it.

For example read this (sorry, only Dutch)
https://www.nictiz.nl/SiteCollectionDocuments/Whitepapers/Blockchain_in_de_zorg.pdf

Summarizing:
- Blockchain is needed when interacting parties do not trust or know each other
- A trusted third party cannot be found or is not desirable
- Validity en transparency of transactions is important
- Stored or interchanged data are very important

Perhaps an optional Blockchain capability could be added in the service model, 
at points where an
"internal" system had to interface with one or more "external" systems.

For example, you could provide access to a specific dataset and blockchain 
calls that
modify its state.

This would then also require the extension of the service model for verifying 
certain actions
against the blockchain.

Within the RM, there is the Feeder System Audit 
(http://www.openehr.org/releases/RM/latest/docs/common/common.html#_feeder_system_audit)

It's a new concept, still needs use cases about it I think.

All the best

How are the plans about blockchain for OpenEhr? Is there any plan to 
incorporate it in the standard, or is it regarded as a technical implementers 
business?
