As the first healthcare company in Sicily, it has implemented blockchain technology into its organizational model. This system complies with the provisions of Legislative Decree 231/2001 to prevent administrative and criminal offenses.
What is Blockchain and How Does It Work?
Blockchain is a technology that uses a computer network to create an immutable data record. Initially developed to manage cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, it now has a wide range of applications, including the healthcare sector.
Blockchain and Industry 4.0
As Industry 4.0 technologies evolve, blockchain is becoming an essential tool for companies that want to stay ahead of the curve.
Benefits in Administrative Management
The adoption of blockchain promotes completely transparent administrative management. This system offers an "armored" register, making every documentary and information process traceable and immutable.
A True Ally for Supervision
Thanks to it, supervisory bodies and company management can quickly access the administrative process, which once inserted becomes unalterable. This feature acts as a deterrent to behavior that evades anti-corruption procedures.
High Risk in the Healthcare Sector
In healthcare, the risk of corruption is high due to the significant financial resources involved. Blockchain represents an effective safeguard to prevent potential corruption.
A Start-up behind Technology
An innovative startup was the driving force behind blockchain implementation. They adapted their existing organizational model and corporate governance rules to the new technology.
Conclusion: A Step Forward for Sicilian Healthcare
The Giglio Foundation of Cefalù has introduced a system that not only ensures transparency but actively combats corruption in the healthcare sector. Healthcare could become a much safer and more transparent sector for everyone.
