The chief executive officer (CEO) of the State Health Authority, Reena Joshi instructed the officials to meet the deadlines set by the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). She gave the order while chairing a review meeting focused on the ongoing programmes under ABDM held here on Saturday.
Highlighting the significance of promoting the ‘scan and share’ facility, she stated that all small units of private medicine must be registered under the Microsites Project to ensure that beneficiaries have access to digital services. “This measure will help alleviate the long queues associated with obtaining hospital prescriptions,” she said while urging the chief medical officers (CMOs) of all districts to act swiftly and diligently in implementing the scan and share system in hospitals across the State as per the ABDM guidelines.
The Microsites Project is currently being implemented in Dehradun, Haridwar, Nainital and Udham Singh Nagar districts. This project aims to digitise and register laboratories, clinics and hospitals with up to 50 beds, blood banks, dialysis centres and pharmacies. So far, a total of 3,030 medical units have been registered across these four districts along with 3,728 medical personnel, including doctors and nurses. Additionally, approximately 4.76 lakh health records have been documented in the registered units.
