Highlights
As a developing country, with the second-largest population in the world, India has an ever-growing need for quality health care
The paper suggests ways to streamline the data collection and compilation process and address the infrastructure gaps. It presents examples of how India can learn from global best practices of implementing Electronic Health Records (EHR)
electronic medical record (EMR) are not designed to be shared outside a particular practice which makes EMRs hard to be shared across medical facilities like labs, pharmacies, and specialists
Summary
With the second-largest population in the world, India has an ever-growing need for quality health care. In 2018, the Government of India (GoI) launched the UHC scheme, known as the Ayushman Bharat Yojana [1]. This national health insurance scheme has two main components - (i) the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) which aims to provide an INR 5,00,000 cover to the bottom 40 percent of the population for secondary and tertiary care [2] and (ii) the establishment of around 1,50,000 health and wellness centers across the country for primary care, especially in rural areas. At the provider-level, large health systems like Tata Memorial Hospital and Max Hospitals Private Limited have implemented electronic medical record (EMR) systems and are moving towards EHR. The status of EHR adoption is not aggressively tracked, and through our survey, we try to understand the progress India has made in EHR adoption
