Govt plans model digitalized hospitals across districts for ease, efficiency
The National Health Authority is promoting hospital digitization through model centres that will use QR-based registration and link patient records, prescriptions, diagnostics and pharmacy services.
New Delhi: India aims to streamline healthcare by establishing model digitalized hospitals in each district, the National Health Authority (NHA) announced. These pilot facilities will consist of one government-run centre and one private hospital in every district, serving as templates for other healthcare institutions to emulate, according to an NHA official.
Priyanka Sharma, a journalist at Mint specializing in health and pharma policies, reported that the initiative seeks to alleviate long queues, document management issues, and the stress of misplaced medical records. With a background in journalism and public health, Sharma has covered the Ministry of Health and the pharmaceutical sector for over a decade.
She holds a journalism degree from the Indian Institute of Mass Communication and specialized training in public health from the Public Health Foundation of India.
