Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 20: Ever since the launch of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) by our honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in September 2021, India’s healthcare sector has undergone an impressive transformation, aiming to provide better health services and care to patients. One significant stride in this direction is the adoption of digital health records, which offers various benefits for patients. Let’s understand how going digital with health records is revolutionizing patient care.
Firstly, digital health records streamline the healthcare journey for patients. With traditional paper-based records, patients often face delays and inconvenience in accessing their medical history or test reports. However, with digital health records safely stored on an app like DRiefcase, accessible through Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA), patients can conveniently view and manage their health records all in one place anytime, anywhere. This accessibility allows patients to take charge of their health and make informed decisions for themselves.
Once the health records are linked with the patient’s ABHA Card on DRiefcase, the patient’s medical data is also easily accessible by authorized healthcare providers with the patient’s consent. This seamless sharing of information facilitates better coordination among healthcare professionals, ensuring that patients receive good care. Whether it’s a doctor consultation or a visit to a different healthcare facility, patients can expect continuity in their treatment journey.
In fact, a remarkable 57.97+ Crore ABHA accounts have already been created, showcasing the widespread adoption of digital healthcare solutions. Furthermore, an impressive number of over 35.47 Crore health records have been seamlessly linked with ABHA, highlighting the effective integration of digital health records and there are more than 2.38 Lakh verified facilities on HFR (Healthcare Facility Registry), further emphasizing the extensive utilization of digital healthcare platforms.
Digital health records also contribute to improved healthcare outcomes. With accurate and up-to-date information available through ABHA, healthcare providers can make more informed diagnosis and treatment decisions. This reduces the likelihood of medical errors and ensures that patients receive the most appropriate care tailored to their individual needs. Moreover, with the ABDM focusing on universal health coverage, digital records also play an important role in reaching the underserved population and remote areas.
In conclusion, the transition to digital records signifies a notable advancement in healthcare delivery. It enhances accessibility, ensures continuity of care and improves healthcare outcomes. Embracing the digital era and moving to digital health records are crucial steps towards providing patient-centered, efficient and quality healthcare services for all.
