Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission : As Envisaged

 


Dear PM Shri Modiji,


Over the past 7 years, you have initiated / inspired / conceived and implemented many reforms to alleviate poverty and make lives of our citizen – especially the poor citizen – livable in dignity


Among those reforms, your yesterday’s launch of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission is the most revolutionary !


After Roti – Kapda – Makan , thank you for making “ Sehat ( Health ) “ the fourth “ Basic Need “ of life


With regards,

Context :

Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission will help bring revolutionary changes ..   /  TOI   /  27 Sept 2021

 

  

 

My Take :

 

Following tabulation shows how I had ENVISAGED this mission way back in Feb 2018 and how it stands today

 

 

 

 

 

Parameter

As envisaged in my blog / e-mail :

Modicare:A Game Changer

 ( 01 Feb 2016 )

 

 

Shri Modiji’s speech as reported in :

 

Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission will help bring revolutionary changes 

  

TOI   /  27 Sept 2021

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

COVERAGE OF :

 

-       HEALTH SERVICES

 

-        DEVICES


   The scheme must cover

 

 #    Supply of Medicines /

       Medical Devices ,

      ( both , preventive and

        curative )

 

 #    Delivery of Services (

       Diagnostic  /  Nursing  / 

        Hospitalization )

 

 #    Pregnancy / Delivery

        related medicines /

        investigations /

        hospitalization

 

 #  Prices for each / all of these

     must be fixed and published

      not only on the website

      of the Health Ministry,

      but at

      ALL places where medicines

      or services are getting

      delivered

 

      

 

      

      

 

      

 

 

 

 

 

a


 
Each eligible family member to

     be issued a “ Ayushman Card

     ( linked to Aadhar ID )

 

Ayushman card will have inbuilt

 memory capacity to store that

 person’s health data from “

Cradle to Grave “ ( Privacy

 advocate need not worry ! )

 

  

 All the Health Data of all 50

 crore beneficiaries to be stored

 on a Central Server for BIG

 DATA analysis , in order to “

 predict :

 

 “ WHO might become

  susceptible to WHICH ailment

   and WHEN "

 

 

 

As an alternative , a GPS

 enabled / NFC capable Smart

 Phone pre-loaded with

 AYUSHMAN MOBILE APP ,

 could be considered to replace

 the card

 

    The key components of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission include, a Health ID for every citizen that will also work as their Health Account , to which personal health records can be linked and viewed with the help of a mobile application

    It will enable access and exchange of longitudinal health records of citizens with their consent

    The new program will help create interoperability within the digital health eco-system , similar to the role played by the Unified Payments Interface , in revolutionizing payments

    It will also help ensure security , confidentiality and privacy of health-related personal information

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AYUSHMAN

 

ECO SYSTEM

   

 

    Ayushman Eco System shall consist of :

    Healthcare Professionals Registry ( HPR ) and Healthcare Facilities Registry ( HFR ), will act as a repository of all healthcare providers across both modern and traditional systems of medicine

Ø  It will ensure ease of doing business for doctors and hospitals and healthcare service providers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TECHNOLOGY

 

AND

 

PROCESS

 

Technology :

 

The Ayushman Eco System

shall be built around

 the BLOCK-CHAIN technology ,

 which will be the main

 operating system for

 implementation of the

 AYUSHMAN PROCESSES ,

 described in my following

 earlier blogs ( sent as emails to

 Cabinet Ministers / Niti Aayog )

 

PROCESS  :

 ·   Beneficiary getting

      AYUSHMAN Card

       after authentication from

       nearest Health Centre

 

       

·     Beneficiary approaching

      any Registered

       Medical Practitioner ( RMP

        ) for ailment

 

·     RMP entering Diagnosis /

      Prescription in Mobile App

       ( or in Card using Card

       Reader )

 

·    Beneficiary presenting card

     at the premises of delivery

       of Medicines / Devices         

        / Services as prescribed

       by RMP

        

·     Person delivering medicines

      / service,

       entering the details in Card

       and delivering service 

       ( including no of

       items/unit price/ GST etc )

 

·    Beneficiary “ sign off “ ( in

     Card ) for having received

      medicine / service

      

 

·  Person delivering service ( or

    medicine ) , uploading data

      on Central Server of

       Health Ministry

       

 

·   Health Ministry updating

    PATIENT  HISTORY

    in the database and effecting

     DIGITAL PAYMENT to person

     delivering medicine 

      / service [ DBT ]

 

·      There will be NO CASH

       TRANSFER to a

        beneficiary ( to avoid

       fraud / fake cases )

        

 

 

 

Furthermore, the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission Sandbox , created as a part of the mission, will act as a framework for technology and product testing that will help organizations, including private players, to be a part of the National Digital Health Ecosystem , to become a health information provider  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GAME CHANGER

HOW  WILL THIS  BE  A  GAME  CHANGER  ?

 

#  If meticulously

 designed and

 aggressively / speedily

 implemented as outlined

 above , AYUSHMAN has the

 potential to,

 

#   Save millions of

     premature deaths

       annually

 

 #   Save billions of man-

      hours lost

        due to preventable

        illnesses

         

#   Bring down the cost of

      Healthcare / Medicines

      / Services

          

 #   Vastly improve the

       quality of life

       for 50 crore persons

 

 #   Invigorate many

       industries and

       generate huge

       employment

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

    It will enable access and exchange of longitudinal health records of citizens with their consent
