In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the healthcare industry is a pivotal sector that demands continuous innovation. Although extensive research on blockchain technology exists, the literature has predominantly emphasized technical aspects and specific applications within industries. However, a comprehensive exploration of blockchain's business and patient value in healthcare remains limited. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a systematic literature review using the PRISMA framework, analyzing highly cited articles from reputable journals. The findings highlight blockchain's potential to revolutionize patient care and optimize business practices within the healthcare sector. This research provides valuable insights for stakeholders, emphasizing the transformative power of blockchain technology to foster innovation, particularly in public healthcare institutions. The results are presented through a value chain analysis and a mindmap, offering a clear framework that can guide researchers and developers in considering the value of blockchain use cases from multiple perspectives.
