The Problem of Payments in E-Health and E-Prescriptions Systems

The transformational power of e-prescription systems in healthcare is examined in this study, which also acknowledges their contribution to pharmaceutical process simplification. Yet, in centralized systems, new approaches are required to address security threats, like cyberattacks and illegal data manipulation. To overcome these obstacles, researchers suggest a decentralized e-prescription system based on self-sovereign identification theory and blockchain technology. In addition to addressing issues like fraud and identity theft, this system guarantees a safe prescription exchange, encouraging amongst healthcare players. It also gives patients more control by giving them access to their drug histories and prescription details, which promotes adherence to treatment programs and active participation. The study also looks at the variables that are causing the expansion of digital payments, such as government initiatives, one-touch payments, internet penetration, and non-banking financial institutions. The fiat and stable coin currencies benefit from the short-term stability of their purchasing power, which makes them appropriate for making purchases of goods and services. This paper examines the challenges brought about by fungible tokens’ volatile value in typical blockchains.
