What is a Digital Health Card 2024?
A digital health ID card is a card that contains the health information of the citizens. It is a part of the mission of the Ayushman Yojana. The Prime Minister said that this digital card will contain all the information related to the health of everyone.
In other words, this card will contain all the information about what physical problems he has, when he went to the doctor, what physical tests he has done, and what medicines the doctor has told him to take.
If someone moves from one place to another or changes doctors, there will be no problem. If anyone needs to know the information of another citizen, they can know. But of course, he needs the permission of the concerned citizen.
It has been informed that there will be no cost to register the name on the health care of the center. The Center said that if the information of the citizens is recorded, it will be convenient for the states to allocate funds in the health sector according to that information.
Benefits of the Digital Health Card 2024
1. All health-related information will be in one place in digital format through a digital health card. This will create a medical history of the person concerned. If the healthcare user goes for treatment in any public or private place in the future, the doctor will move all the information digitally into one place.
You can even get treatment in any state through a digital health card. It is believed that the medical system will be easier. There is no need for the patient to move from one hospital to another with the file.
2. This work will be fully official. All patient information is expected to be protected here. Fraud often occurs in government schemes. And in that case, digital health cards are considered to be much more secure.
Medical subsidies can also be obtained through this. So far, more than 20 million people have received free medical treatment through the Ayushman Bharat Yojana.
This facility could be availed through an Ayushman card. However, in this case, the digital health card is expected to be more secure from now on.
How health records are created?
In the first step, a health ID will be created after which health-related information will be taken from an individual. This information will be attached to the health ID, after obtaining the consent of that person.
According to the NDHM’s website, information known as the ‘Personal Health Record-System (PHR)’ will enable an individual to manage information about his or her healthcare.
This includes viewing a longitudinal record, summarizing all health information, lab reports, treatment details, and discharge across one or more health facilities
