More than 1.28L register for ABHA cards at Sadar hosp
Ranchi: Sadar hospital has registered 1,28,808 Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) cards in the district's digital health registry so far. The initiative is a key component of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) and enables patients to securely store and access their medical history digitally. Moreover, 13,123 patients at the hospital are now availing paperless treatment services. The overall district has seen more than 14.10 lakh ABHA card registrations. However, last year, only 2,350 ABHA cards were created at Sadar hospital. Any individual aged five years and above is eligible to obtain their ABHA card. The digital shift has two components of ABDM, including Scan & Share and the Health Management Information System (HMIS). The "Scan & Share" service is a QR-code-based OPD registration system that enables patients to quickly register by scanning the hospital's unique QR code using a smartphone or any ABDM-enabled application, including the ABHA app or Aarogya Setu. This process instantly transfers the patient's demographic details to the hospital's HMIS, facilitating faster and more accurate registration. The HMIS then generates a unique token number for each patient, which is sent to their mobiles. Patients can wait in designated areas and are called based on their token numbers, reducing queue times and improving data accuracy. At the registration counter, operators retrieve patient details based on token and print OPD cards. The system has eliminated the need for long queues and manual data entry, streamlining the overall healthcare experience. Talking to TOI, civil surgeon, Dr Prabhat Kumar, said, "The National Health Authority (NHA), which monitors the ABDM implementation across the country, has appreciated the performance of Sadar hospital's 'Scan and Share' team. Of the 20 personnel engaged under ABDM at the hospital, eight are dedicated to Scan and Share service. To support this digital infrastructure, Sadar hospital has ensured an uninterrupted power supply, high-speed internet connectivity, a patient display and announcement system at OPD counters, and kiosks for ABHA generation and linking." Sanjay Tiwari, district data manager, said, "Self-help kiosks have also been installed to enable citizens to generate ABHA numbers and link their health records."
