This work analyzes the application of blockchain technology in improving the tracability of medical
terms in decentralized health systems. The research proposes a new methodology to ensure crossinstitutional uniformity and verification of medical term application by utilizing the blockchain's
transparency and permanence features. These methodologies include the application of smart contracts
and decentralized ledgers for audit trails. Results analysis indicates improvements in sepersistency and
data integrity of the system, as well as consistency in the use of terminologies. Ascertains, along with
evidence from multiple studies, that indeed blockchain offers unprecedented opportunities for the
governance of health data worldwide, especially in settings with many languages and institutions.
