Abstract: Blockchain and the healthcare sector have a serious concern with context to scalability, which has a challenge of converting arbitrary values to fixed values. The transfer of arbitrary data coming from diverse resources has another point of concern in the blockchain. In this paper, the author proposed a model that will receive data from diverse sources and will convert it to a fixed type of value. The paper also proposes an access control scheme with various permission and consensus level protocols which will allow a reduction in block size with respect to scalability. The consensus level will allow access to the individual or a group of users and the permission level with respect to each block via considering the access granted to nodes of the blockchain. The addition of various permission and consensus levels will allow only a restricted type of data to pass the model. Once the data is verified and approved by various levels, then the data is all set to be part of the blockchain. The paper introduces a model where the time taken to create a new hash is 0.15625 microseconds. A total number of 64 transactions taken from the data set where the throughput is calculated for individual access are considered. After applying the formula, the calculated throughput is 32.5 microseconds. By the lighter block size data can be made available to the patients. The research is for the patients so they can keep track of their medical history and the deaths due to overdose of the medicines can be reduced.
