At present, government hospitals, government teaching hospitals, and a few private hospitals are offering services to the public as per the NMC norms through the ABHA cards, but private colleges are yet to do so. “When services are offered using the ABHA IDs, electronic health records (EHRs) are created, which contain patients’ details,” Mr. Veerapandian said. Chakradhar Babu said if private medical colleges use the Health Management Information System (HMIS) integrated with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), patients’ health information would become immediately accessible. This would enable doctors to quickly understand a patient’s medical history and make treatment easier, he said. Mr. Chakradhar Babu urged the private medical colleges to participate in creating EHRs through the ABHA IDs and assured them of all technical support.
