National Health Authority Scan and Share Service

March 1, 2023

Patients have to wait in a long queue for OPD registrations in the hospitals. The hospitals collect patient information like name, age, date of birth, and other details during the registration. Sometimes long queues cause discomfort. Sick persons suffer from the delay caused by the registration formalities and their treatment gets obstructed. To avoid this, the National Health Authority introduced QR-code-based solutions called the “SCAN AND SHARE” service.

About the Service

Under the service, QR codes are placed at important spots in the hospitals. The patients can use their smartphones and scan the QR code to fill in the registration form.

Ayushman Bharat

There are Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission players in the market. Beneficiaries may create their Ayushman Bharat Health account numbers taking help from these players. What do these ABDM players do? They store the health records of the patients under an ABDM number. Just by accessing the number, the entire medical history of the patient can be accessed. This is done to make things easy during hospital checkups. Also, it aids to retrieve information if the patient loses his file in situations like floods.

The “Scan and Share” service allows users to use ABDM-linked information as well. They can fill in their demographic information using the ABDM numbers. After scanning the QR code, the users should just enter their ABDM number. The software does the rest. All required details are collected from the database.

Benefits

The service links health records and therefore it is easy for the hospitals to learn about patient history. Collecting patient history is time-consuming. The “Scan and Share” service helps to cut short the time put into collecting patient information in simple English . When the hospitals learn patient records in medical terms directly from the report, it is easy for them to process.
