Digital Health Incentive Scheme

About Digital Health Incentive Scheme

The National Health Authority (NHA) comes in front with Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). This is in consideration to create a digital health system for the whole country. This means that places like clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies will be able to use this system to provide digital health services to everyone in India.

Even though there has been a lot of progress in digital health records lately, there’s still a lot of room for even more growth. Right now, a lot of healthcare is still done without using digital technology. So, the NHA wants to give a boost to digital health by giving incentives to the people and organizations involved in the digital health system. This will encourage more healthcare providers to use digital health and make sure that the software they need is affordable.

about ABHA1

The NHA has also launched something called DHIS, which is a way to digitize patients’ health records. This started on January 1, 2023. And starting from April 1, 2023, there are some new rules that make it easier for people to use the existing system.

The Digital Health Incentive Scheme (DHIS) of ABDM has been updated. Now, any health facility that’s registered with HFR and DSCs can earn up to ₹4 Crore as an incentive.

So, basically, the NHA is working hard to make sure that everyone in India can benefit from digital health. They want to make it easier for healthcare providers to use digital technology and for patients to have their health records digitized. It’s a pretty awesome mission!
