Commenting on the compliance, Abhinav Lal, co-founder, Practo said, “ The future of healthcare is digital, and with ABDM we are going to witness acceleration in the adoption of digital healthcare. At Practo we are committed to improving the quality of healthcare delivery for all, and the integration of Ray in the ABDM ecosystem is just the first step of the larger role we are going to play in India’s journey towards digital healthcare. We are also going to be Unified Health Interface (UHI) compliant soon, which will enable doctors to reach more patients..”
“Using Ray will enable doctors, and healthcare professionals to generate digital health records for patients. Apart from this, it will also provide features such as registering their practice under ABDM’s health facility registry (HFR), a prerequisite to avail DHIS benefits; creating a QR code for their practice/ clinic that patients can easily scan and self-register without having to wait in a queue; create and link health records to patient’s ABHA ID; automatically share patient records with other ABDM compliant clinics or hospitals, with patient consent, and request patient to share their history of health records from other ABDM compliant clinics or hospitals,” a statement said. In addition to this, Ray users will also have the benefit of using other practice management services, such as booking and managing appointments, writing digital prescriptions, SMS reminders to patients, and other patient management services.
To further promote digital adoption within India’s healthcare ecosystem, the National Health Authority (NHA) has also recently announced that all health facilities registered on the health facility registry (HFR) will be eligible for incentive schemes irrespective of the number of beds. And it has expanded eligibility to include a maximum of one transaction per day and five transactions per month per ABHA address for the incentive for a health facility or a DSC providing health locker/teleconsultations.
