What is ABDM Health ID?
Isn't it tedious to carry your medical records, history and reports every time you visit your doctor? Sign-up for ABHA, get a 14-digit unique health ID number and store all this information digitally. You can share this information with consent with healthcare providers as and when required.
The National Digital Health Mission renamed as Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission was initiated by the Indian Government in 2020 to create a digital health record for Indian citizens. This will facilitate easy tracking of the records and will make delivery of services efficient negating chances of document misplacement and lags.
A health ID will be created upon registration and a card will be provided to all participants (doctors, patients, hospitals/clinics, pharmacies or any other stakeholder involved in the healthcare sector). The ID will be linked to the Ayushman Bharat Health Account. The ID and account created are free of charge and hospitals can access patient records such as lab reports and previous prescriptions with just a click.
Patients can be rest assured that the confidentiality of documents uploaded is upheld at all times. This is enforced with the feature of a consent manager through which patients authorize the use of their records. Trust and reliability are the building blocks of the platform and so once the go-ahead is provided by the patient, the hospital can visit their account and open the documents remotely. This facilitates an integrated health infrastructure with which hospitals and clinics can deliver better care services to India.
