Abstract

Systems and methods may use healthcare protocols for use with distributed ledger technology. The healthcare protocols may be used to, among other things, classify event data items as distributed ledger data items such that record of such classified event data items may be stored in a distributed ledger. Further, the healthcare protocols may be modified over time, and record of such modifications may also be stored in a distributed ledger.
