Healthcare Credentialing

2. What is blockchain?


At its core, blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger. It stores data across a

Each piece of information (or "block") is linked to the next in a chronological
chain, making it nearly impossible to alter any data once it's been recorded. This
technology is especially valuable when trust, security, and verification are
required.
