India, June 29 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
Many small outpatient clinics face challenges with manual processes and lack of affordable digital solutions. Large HMIS (Hospital Management Information System) are often too complex and costly for these clinics. As a result, clinics struggle with inefficiencies in digitization of health system. The need of having a government backed and an affordable HMIS has been coming from various microsite participants in spite of a large number of private HMIS players. Many States/UTs have also expressed interest to use a light HMIS for their public facilities. Given that the digitization in the healthcare sector is still nascent, making available an HMIS for them would be useful for the adoption of ABDM.
To address this issue, Union Health Minister Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda launched the e-Sushrut@Clinic, here today. eSushrut@Clinic, a light HMIS was created by C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) to address these challenges by providing a simple, affordable, and user-friendly digital solution specifically tailored for small outpatient clinics. It is proposed to open this HMIS for government PHCs, HWCs, Subcenters and private clinics. Currently, 800+ health facilities are onboarded on eSushrut@Clinic, generating over 680 health records. C-DAC is also implementing the eSushrut software, which is being installed at more than 15 AIIMS and in various State government hospitals.
Features:
e-Sushrut@Clinic provides a lightweight, cloud-based HMIS designed specifically for outpatient clinics which includes:
The National Health Authority (NHA), as part of its role to increase the adoption of Digital Health & ABDM is signing an MoU with C-DAC. Under the MoU, C-DAC will take care of maintenance and upgradation of the software while NHA will provide facilitation and financial support. The financial support proposed to be given to C-DAC is on the following accounts:
NHA is also extending the services of the call center to provide L1 support to the customers. The training of the call center employees and the audit of quality will be done by C-DAC.
The cost of eSushrut@clinic is estimated to be Rs.499/month for 5 users. Under the MoU of NHA, a discount of Rs.200 will be given making the effective rate to be Rs.299/month. The software will be offered at no cost for the initial 3 months. Each additional user beyond the included 5-user limit will be charged at a rate of Rs.50 per user.
