Operational Impact
The blockchain-enabled network has been running in parallel with the company’s traditional system in an extensive field test since January 2018. | |
The blockchain initially ran on six nodes in the company’s data center in King of Prussia, PA and the team is exploring moving it to run in the cloud. | |
The new system makes all claims transparent to authorized users via APIs, enabling a hospital administrator, for example, to view the real-time status and remittance of all the hospital’s claims as they move through the system. | |
Quantitative Benefit
The test network demonstrated the ability to process up to 50 million transactions a day—with throughput up to 550 transactions a second. | |
That’s enough capacity to handle all claims activity that occurs on the Change Healthcare Intelligent Healthcare Network. | |
