The rationale behind this research stems from the increasing frequency of data breaches in healthcare and the inadequacy of centralized systems to ensure privacy, interoperability, and regulatory compliance. The Present study emphasizes the importance of applying security in healthcare. This model was prepared by utilizing Smart Contracts. It has been noted that there are some emerging concerns about data security and privacy as well as interoperability within healthcare organizations. The focus of a research paper is on the deployment of Smart Contracts along with blockchain technologies. The fundamental vision is to improve healthcare infrastructures security. Blockchain is transforming healthcare systems for the better by eliminating inefficiencies caused by fraud and outdated technologies, allowing for the efficient, transparent, and secure issuance of Smart Contracts. The challenges of confidentiality, data security, and access to relevant patient information for medical professionals have been a problem in the healthcare sector. Most of the existing EHR systems do not have adequate mechanisms for enforcing security access controls, which hampers cooperation between healthcare institutions. These security concerns pose risks for patients privacy and cripple the adoption of modern information technology within the health sector. Simulation works shows that Transaction processing time in case of proposed model is below 1.5 second where as it is 2.5 in case of conventional model. Security breach probability of proposed model has been reduced to 0.05 that was 0.35 in case of conventional model. Data integrity verification time in case of proposed model is below 1.0 that is above 1.75 in case of conventional model. While with the existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems face limitations in security, privacy enforcement, and interoperability, this study addresses the lack of automated, decentralized access control mechanisms. It proposes a blockchain-powered Smart Contract model to fill these gaps and enhance healthcare data governance and trust. Little Lion Scientific
