On Madhya Pradesh Foundation Day, November 1, 2026, all government hospitals in the state are set to transition to a fully paperless system. This initiative, spearheaded by the Health and Medical Education Department, aims to streamline various healthcare processes. Patients will receive digital OPD registration slips, prescriptions, and test reports directly to their mobile phones via SMS or digital format.
Each doctor will receive a tablet equipped with a list of available medicines to ensure appropriate prescriptions. The system encompasses OPD registration, laboratory tests, consultations, pharmacy, diagnostics, and billing. It will also integrate with the Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) for digital access to patients' medical records.
Gandhi Medical College (GMC), a pilot site for this project, has been implementing the system for six months across three departments: Medicines, Skin, and Psychiatry. Gradually, the paperless system will be rolled out to all departments. OPD services will be paperless, with patients receiving digital slips and information directly to their care teams.
The availability of medicines will be reflected in the list provided to doctors, guiding their prescription decisions.
