Digital Health Incentive Scheme
The National Health Authority (NHA) is implementing Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) to create a digital health eco system for the country. ABDM intends to support different healthcare facilities like clinics, diagnostic centers, hospitals, laboratories and pharmacies in adopting the ABDM ecosystem to make available the benefits of digital health for all the citizens of India.
Although there has been unprecedented growth in digital health records over the past few months, there is huge potential for further growth as healthcare continues to be offered non digitally on a significant scale. To give further boost to digital health transactions in the country, it has been decided by the NHA to incentivize the stakeholders of the digital health ecosystem. This initiative would also provide the right encouragement to majority of healthcare providers for adopting digital health and also to the providers of digital health solutions such as Hospital/Health Management Information System (HMIS) and Laboratory Management Information System (LMIS) to make available the right software at an affordable cost.
NHA has launched DHIS for digitization of patient's health records. DHIS is effective from 1st January 2023. NHA has come up with some relaxations like reduced transaction limits in the existing scheme with effective from 1st April 2023.
The policy of the Digital Health Incentive Scheme #DHIS of #ABDM has been revised, and now all health facilities registered with #HFR and DSCs can earn an #Incentive of up to ₹4 Crore.
