Abstract: Health related information of a person in systematic format using information and Communication technology is definitely required. Storing patient information according to guidelines provided by government will help to achieve the concept of one person one record. There is also need to share the personal health record whenever necessary. If patient record (History) is readily available, it will help to make correct decisions related to patient’s treatment. In our country (India) Ministry of Health and Family Welfare have recommended to eliminate conventional health record system. The major focus of this paper is to represent various methodologies that are adopted to implement web based health record system. As there is need of security while accessing and sharing of health related information, security is the major factor. Use of block chain, cryptography and timestamp based log record method is discussed. To assure the sharing of records, Inter Planetary File System (IPFS) is also discussed. Major purpose is to provide systematic and easy to use interoperable electronic health Record system.

Keywords: Patient history; cryptography; blockchain; timestamp based record; IPFS; electronic health records
