With the growing use of digital data in healthcare systems, the issue of data security, integrity, and interoperability has become critical. The blockchain technology has come out as a promising solution to such challenges. The present systematic review represents an in-depth analysis of the existing literature on the topic of blockchain use in healthcare data management. It starts by defining the basic concepts of blockchain technology as well as its possible applications in improving data security, immutability, and decentralized control in healthcare settings. The review then methodically classifies and examines the recent scholarly articles, case studies, and real-world initiatives of blockchain implementations in healthcare. The review presents existing challenges, areas of opportunity, and prevailing trends based on a critical synthesis of the literature. It emphasizes the role of blockchain in revolutionizing healthcare data practices through creating patient-centric solutions that are secure and transparent. This review informs researchers, healthcare practitioners, and policymakers on the present situation, the practical implications, and the future on the application of blockchain technology in the digital transformation of healthcare. With the development of the sector, blockchain has a significant role in determining the future of healthcare data management and delivery.
