It will integrate various digital health services to create an ecosystem which can assimilate existing health information system. The government will ensure security and privacy of all ID. Many times it happens when patient lose his important blood report at home and reaches hospital in rush on time because it a day of appointment, this makes doctor to predict and judge patient’s history in absence of his blood reports/OPD/IPD papers. With the launch of National Digital Health Mission (NDHM) all papers of patient will be in one ID, will make feasible for doctors and other health care provider to check and therefore correct treatment of patient.

What is a health ID?

Every person in the country will get a digital health ID, 14 digits ID which is basically a digital format of all health records of a person which will be linked to the registry of doctors and health facilities across the country. Health ID may be in form of mobile application of website. The enrollment in this mission will be voluntary – government announced.

Data of patient like diagnosis of patient, medicine given by previous doctor, lab reports, X-ray reports etc. will be attached to the ID. If a patient, who has enrolled his name in National Digital Health Mission, goes to another doctor (e.g. in Delhi) for treatment from previous doctor(e.g. Mumbai), his ID will be transferred to new doctor’s (Delhi doctors) registry and new doctor can find his history and all treatment given to patient easily through the ID.
