I've had someone pitch the same blockchains-as-EMR to me, and they made the same mistake of construing data integrity with data security.

Blockchains are public record, which you do not want your health data stored in. Even this article acknowledges that and recommends using private blockchains, which offers no competitive benefit over other decentralized databases.

This just seems like another hammer looking for a nail.
