Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Information governance is an all-encompassing strategy to manage business data by establishing controls, roles, processes, and metrics in place. Making information accessible to those who require it while streamlining management, lowering storage costs, and assuring compliance are the objectives of information governance. The three fundamental characteristics of blockchains, transparency, security, and immutability, fit very well with the recommended procedures for information governance. In the past decade, the introduction of blockchains (distributed ledger technology) has profoundly affected numerous industrial sectors. Blockchains build trust between participants through a decentralized approach by reorganizing economic processes, decreasing the time and expenses incurred by intermediaries. Worldwide, blockchain technology is used in various applications across many industries. For example, blockchain adoption in healthcare has demonstrated the potential to reduce healthcare costs, enhance access to information, and streamline administrative procedures. A company named WholeCare provides a platform for managing and interacting with caregivers. Its blockchain-enabled platform enables efficient monitoring and delivery of care for those who need it the most. Thus, the integration of blockchain technology with other applications facilitates the digital revolution, but it also presents several challenges in terms of scalability, security, privacy, etc. This Special Issue explores how information systems can be empowered using blockchain-based decentralized solutions by addressing these challenges.
