Electronic medical records and patient data sharing are critical and considered as core issues in health care. How to store patient's information securely, how to access the information and how to ensure the privacy of patients when sharing medical data among several health service providers or agents are critical considerations. To handle those crucial considerations, a blockchain-based technology called Hyperledger Fabric will be useful. Hyperledger Fabric is a permissioned blockchain technology that provides a way to secure the interactions among a group of identified participants. In this paper, we will show how the implementation of Hyperledger Fabric to store, manage and maintain electronic medical records can ensure the security and the privacy of patient data.
