Redundancy

Every organisation providing care to a patient keeps a complete copy of their entire GitEHR healthcare record. Health records are small in the context of modern data management.

All organisations to which a patient is granted access keep an up-to-date record copy.

Distributing the storage of medical records makes them extremely resilient to loss, deletion or corruption.

Tamper resistance

Using the same consensus principle from blockchain technology to ensure there is only one version of the truth, GitEHR records which have been altered in any way are instantly identified.
