There has been an increasing interest in blockchain technology from the health care sector in the last couple of years. The value proposition for using blockchain technology in the health care sector is to share sensitive patient data among health care entities securely and to empower patients. Blockchain technology allows patients to have an active role in developing and updating their own patient data. However, is blockchain technology really the silver bullet it seems to be? With this paper, we aim to understand the benefits and challenges of blockchain technology in the health care sector. We discuss innovation and security implications concerning blockchain technology in health care. Furthermore, we show that there is a need for more use cases to ensure the secure sharing of data within the health care sector. In our opinion, blockchain technology will not solve the issues encountered by the health care sector; in fact, it may raise more issues than it will solve.

Adherence to treatment in psychiatry is pivotal for achieving and maintaining good health outcomes. Yet, despite the vast amount of research into adherence, treatment adherence remains suboptimal. There is a need for everyone to take an active role in addressing non-adherence if we are to realize the full benefits of available treatments. This chapter introduces the concept of adherence and discusses the factors influencing adherence in psychiatry. The adherence literature is then reviewed, and results from past adherence interventions summarized to explain why non-adherence occurs from an individual patient perspective. A perceptions and practicalities approach to adherence is then presented to help guide the design and delivery of patient-centred adherence support. This chapter serves as a practical guide to adherence for health care providers and others interested in supporting adherence to treatment in psychiatry.

There has been a longstanding interest in understanding how new management practices and organizational structures are diffused through the health care system. This article reviews current literature on innovation and diffusion to provide insight into how new management practices and organizational structures are introduced into the system. Understanding the process may help in accommodating new developments and provide managerial opportunities to take a more active role in encouraging or discouraging their further evolution.

Background: The study focused on perceptions of older adults toward the healthcare processes they experienced during a clinical trial for back pain that involved family medicine residents and licensed chiropractors. Methods: Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with 115 older adults after a 12-week, 3-arm, randomized controlled trial. Two researchers conducted thematic analysis with inductive coding using qualitative software to identify participants’ salient experiences of the doctor–patient relationship, healthcare process, and collaboration between study providers. Investigators categorized thematic codes within an existing framework of clinical excellence in primary care. Results: Participants emphasized provider communication and interpersonal relationships, professionalism and passion for patient care, clinical and diagnostic acumen, and skillful negotiation of the health-care system. Older adults also described the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and their preferences for receiving hands-on treatments for musculoskeletal conditions. Conclusion: These older adults valued doctors who communicated clearly and spent time listening to their concerns. Many participants appreciated clinicians who supported an active role for patients in their health-care and who provided touch-based care for musculoskeletal conditions.
