What I mean is, I envision a scenario in which personal data such as patient data is stored separately and independently from other institutions; that patient data is encrypted and then distributed to the IFPS, while the IFPS ID is stored on an immutable blockchain

How is authentication, authorization, logging and data retention policy handled?

What if a patient loses their encryption key?

How do doctors get access to history?

HIPAA? EMR system integration?

blockchain is toxic, most people do not want to deal with the hassle of lose your keys, lose your money (data here)
