In which every citizen has to be given a health ID. This ID will contain his medical records. It is often seen that people either find it difficult to handle medical records, or they forget to take them with them when they see a doctor. This differentially operated digital format ID will make it easier for the doctor to understand the patient’s medical history.
What is the Benefits of this mission?
- The diagnosis will be correct from the health database.
- Study and research will ease the outcome of treatment.
- The effectiveness of the drug can be more effectively understood.
- Patients’ privacy will not be compromised. Health records will be 5.accessible to physicians and health insurers with the consent of the patient.
- Data will be available to research institutes, biotech companies, and pharmaceutical companies.
- Cloud computing has unlimited potential for treatment and data analytics.
- District hospitals and doctors will be monitored through analytics.
What are the Challenges for this mission?
a) These data will go to private companies, which can be difficult for the National Health Information System to handle.
b) Integrating such decentralized or global private technology products with a national health information system is a challenge.
c) People spend more than two-thirds of their money on health. Therefore, state governments and private hospitals need to be brought together.
D) Voluntary awareness has to be brought among the citizens for registration.
E) Despite this, the shortage of hospitals, doctors, and nurses cannot be met through digitization. For this, the government should plan to increase the expenditure on medicine in the GDP by 1%. Only then can the gap between real and digital be filled.
