Under the Ayushman Bharat-Digital Mission, the Union Health Ministry has begun digital registration of all medical facilities and all doctors in order to digitise health records.
Highlights:
Government hospitals have been asked to purchase Hospital Information Management System Software as part of this endeavour.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission on September 27, 2021.
Every Indian would be given a unique health ID that will also function as a health account, allowing personal health records to be linked.
The mission’s goal is to create interoperability throughout the digital health ecosystem, similar to how the Unified Payments Interface revolutionised payments.
