Abstract Electronic medical records are considered the main component in the health organizations’ system. Recently, the reputation of medical information patients and their privacy is very imperative in the healthcare realm. Therefore, this information is epitomized as proof of social insurance and governance such as the medical conflicts, and medical health insurance. In the last decades, health organizations face more problems regarding medical information management to save the privacy of patient information. Privacy is the main issue for achieving the security of the patients’ information in smart healthcare applications. Hence, there is a grave necessity to use the blockchain. The blockchain can be used for achieving transparency and security in medical applications. This helps to attain the possibility of making a trustable and secure healthcare system. Likewise, this paper presents a blockchain-based Electronic Medical Records (EMR) management framework in smart healthcare infrastructure in the context of smart cities. The proposed framework is utilized blockchain technology for providing security and privacy in healthcare organizations, especially for healthcare information management, and supplies secure storage of electronic records presented in this paper. Therefore, privacy can be preserved through the proposed blockchain approach as illuminated in the proposed system. Moreover, it aims for solving the problem of the scalability that faces the blockchain by using off-chain storage for the records and ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the medical record. In addition, more essential is stressing the ownership of the medical record which is the only property of the patient, not any other entity. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
