The integration of electronic information systems (EIS) in healthcare has revolutionized data management, enhancing efficiency and accessibility. The centralized nature of current electronic information systems in Jiangxi's healthcare sector poses significant vulnerabilities, including risks of data tampering, unauthorized access, and single points of failure. These vulnerabilities threaten the security and integrity of sensitive patient data, potentially leading to severe consequences such as breaches of patient confidentiality, financial losses, and diminished public trust in the healthcare system. This study adopts a comprehensive approach to develop and evaluate a blockchain framework for enhancing data integrity in Jiangxi's healthcare information systems. The research is structured into three primary objectives: identifying the key characteristics of blockchain technology that contribute to data integrity, developing a blockchain framework tailored for Jiangxi's EIS, and evaluating the effectiveness of the implemented blockchain system. Data will be collected through literature reviews, expert interviews, and pilot implementations, followed by rigorous analysis to assess the framework's impact on data security and integrity. The study anticipates that the blockchain framework will significantly enhance the integrity and security of healthcare data in Jiangxi. The expected outcomes include reduced incidents of data tampering and unauthorized access, improved traceability and accountability of data transactions, and strengthened public trust in the healthcare system.
