e-Sushrut@Clinic:
The National Health Authority (NHA) and the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to roll out e-Sushrut@Clinic.
- e-Sushrut@Clinic provides a lightweight, cloud-based Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) designed specifically for outpatient clinics.
- This government-backed Health Management Information System (HMIS) is designed specifically for small and medium healthcare providers.
- It marks a pivotal step in expanding the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) ecosystem.
- The application developed by C-DAC is a lighter version of their flagship e-Sushrut HMIS software.
- It is tailored for outpatient management, pharmacy, and nursing modules, and delivers essential functionalities at a low per-user cost.
- Any healthcare provider can onboard it from his/her laptop/mobile on a webpage through their Health Facility Registry (HFR) and Health Professionals Registry (HPR).
- If the healthcare provider is not registered on HFR/HPR, they would be able to register on eSushrut@Clinic itself.
- This will make it much easier for doctors in both public and private clinics to access and update patient health records, offer telemedicine services, and streamline diagnostics and prescriptions.
- The platform enables small clinics, sub-centres, and medium-sized hospitals to digitize patient records, prescriptions, and billing with minimal technical overhead.
- Several utilities and features of ABDM will be available in eSushrut@Clinic.
- For instance, the healthcare providers would use the AIIMS Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) service for hypertension and diabetes, which is being provided free for all ABDM-integrated software.
- This CDSS helps improve patient care by supporting doctors in making better diagnoses and treatment.
