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?"

Centre initiates digital mission for digitisation of health records  /  ET  /  10 Nov 2021

Extract :

The Union Health Ministry has initiated digital registration of all medical facilities and doctors under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission

 

In a letter to State Secretary and directors of health mission, the Health Ministry made it MANDATORY for all its health facilities to participate in the mission

 

Accordingly, all health facilities like,

 

#   Hospitals,

 

#   Clinics,

 

#   Laboratories,

 

#   Pharmacies,

 

#   Radiology Centres etc.,

 

where ANY HEALTHCARE FACILITY is provided, are requested to register for the Digital Mission, the letter said

 

Under the digitalization of Health Records Mission, Government hospitals are advised to procure :

 

Hospital Management Information System ( HMIS ) software

 

The Centre has also made available two solutions for the digitalization health records for the hospitals :

 

Ø  e-Hospital by NIC (National Informatic Center)

Ø  e-Sushrut by C-DAC (Center for Development of Advanced Computing).

PM Narendra Modi had launched the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission via video-conferencing on September 27

 

Under the Mission, every Indian will get a unique HEALTH ID that will also work as a HEALTH ACCOUNT to which PERSONAL HEALTH RECORDS can be linked

   
The National Health Authority (NHA) has been entrusted with the task of implementing this initiative

 


MY  TAKE  :

 

Dear Shri Mandviyaji,


Thank you for enlisting all the HEALTH FACILITIES, as suggested in my following e-mail ( although, partially ) :

Ø  Modicare : A Game Changer………………… [ 01 Feb 2018 ]

 

Extract :

 

My suggestions :

 

      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

        web site of the Health Ministry but at ALL places where medicines or services

        are getting delivered

        

        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

  

      Ayushman Eco System shall consist of :

 

     #    50   crore poor beneficiaries

     #    All Medical Practitioners of India  ( Allopathic - Ayurvedic – Homeopathic )

     #     All Medical Shops of India  ( including  E – Pharmacies  )

     #     All  Nursing Homes / Hospitals / Diagnostic Centres / Health Centres etc

     #     All Pharma Companies

     #    Health Ministry

     #     All India Medical Association

     #     All India Organization of Chemists and Druggists ( AIOCD ) 

     #    Drug Controller General of India

     #    All  Medical  Colleges /  Medical Research Centres

     #    Any other entity which I might have missed out

 ================================

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 )

===================================================

 

Dear Shri Mandaviyaji,

 

Here is one more suggestion :

On 26 Aug 2021, Govt launched e-SHRAM portal for registration of Migrant workers

As of yesterday ( 10 Nov 2021 ), some 7,33,48,928 workers have registered in 106 days since launch ( ave of 6.92 lakh / day ) – with, as many as 12.82 lakh registrations yesterday

92.35 % of those registered have a monthly income of Rs 10,000 or less and 83.56 % have furnished details of their Bank Accounts

As per e-SHRAM scheme, all registered are entitled to :

Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY)

( Health coverage of Rs. 5 lakhs per family / year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization free of cost )

( although with many Eligibility Conditions )

I urge you to consider issuing to these workers, Ayushman Bharat Health Record cards along with the e-SHRAM cards
