Blockchain for healthcare data hypothesis

After reading a pitiful small amount about blockchain, I am proposing this hypothesis about how to use it for managing a nationally available,  secure healthcare record. Then I will do more reading and experimentation to disprove or not disprove my thesis.
Hypothesis: I can setup a demonstration blockchain economy that allows healthcare and patient entities to add to, decrement from, and audit (or read from) patient health records stored in a blockchain ledger.
Secondarily: it's all secure and robust
Thirdly: there's an easy way for a patient to provide his/her entity identity, securely with a token. Wow. Now we are stretching.

I am not the first to propose this use case, just the most ignorant.  Soon that will all change.
