Health care

Health insurance example
This contract is adapted from the DAML 's  introductory insurance contract.
DAML is a distributed private ledger and does not manage payments; the contract allows the doctor to generate bills for insurer and patient. 
The strength of a public blockchain with a cryptocurrency, is that it allows payments and accounting of payments in a single business process. The main differences between the contract below and the DAML version are:
payments are executed through contract entries
the contract enters the Running state with validation from both insurer and patient parties
The main benefit of this version is that it may serve as an opposable document in the case of a default in payment: indeed, since the contract is used to channel payments, the contract is accounting for any default of payment (in the debts variables).
For example, a doctor may go to court and exhibit the debt value of his corresponding doctor asset as a proof of the default in payment.
From a design point of vue, the contract manages several doctors. A doctor is registered with approvals from both patient and insurer parties.
We see in this basic example, that a smart contract on a public blockchain with a cryptocurrency, enables organisations to capture the critical aspects of a business process : payments, permissions and accounting.
