摘要: [目的/意义]区块链是一种解决电子病历信息共享困境的可能手段,需要将区块链微观层面提供的可供性与宏观层面驱动的社会转型结合,才能全面地分析如何利用区块链有效解决电子病历信息共享的社会挑战问题。[研究设计/方法]本研究以社会转型理论与可供性实现理论为指导,采用文献内容分析方法,梳理应用区块链相关措施解决电子健康病历信息共享中的社会挑战所造成的变革性干预情境类型,进一步分析了区块链的社会层面可供性,最后通过区块链变革性干预类型与其在社会层面可供性的映射分析,给出了不同变革干预类型相应的区块链技术破解病历信息共享困境的实现机理模型。[结论/发现]区块链虽然在技术特征上可以促进电子病历的信息共享,但在实施中还需要从利益相关者的角度评估当采纳区块链技术实现不同类型变革时的社会层面的可供性,以保证用户对于区块链信息系统的需求和其使用能力之间的一致性。[创新/价值]从宏观社会转型和微观可供性实现的角度,阐述电子病历信息共享困境以及区块链驱动的转型干预措施之间的复杂关系,提出区块链破解病历信息共享困境实现机理模型,为制定电子病历信息共享相关政策提供了参考。

Abstract:  [Purpose/Significance] Blockchain is a possible means to solve the dilemma of electronic medical record information sharing. It is necessary to combine the affordances provided by blockchain at the micro level with the social transformation driven at the macro level, so as to comprehensively analyze how to use blockchain to effectively solve the social challenges of medical record information sharing.[Design/Methodology] Guided by Social Transformation Theory and Affordance Actualization Theory, this study uses the literature content analysis method to sort out the transformative interventions situation types caused by the application of blockchain to solve the social challenges. In addition,blockchain affordances in societal-level are also analyzed. Finally, through a mapping analysis of the transformative interventions situation types and blockchain affordances, the corresponding realization mechanism models about how to adopting blockchain technology to solve the challenges of medical record information sharing are conducted. [Findings/Conclusion] Although blockchain may facilitate information sharing of electronic medical records because of its technical characteristics, it is necessary to evaluate affordances in social-level from the perspective of stakeholders when they adopt blockchain to realize different types of social transformation, and ensure the consistency between user’s capability of using blockchain systems with their requirements. [Originality/Value] This study explores the complex relationship between electronic medical record information sharing and blockchain-driven transformation interventions from a perspective of macro social transformation and micro affordance actualization, and proposes the realization mechanism models, which provide directions to issue relevant policies for electronic medical record information sharing.
