The National Health Authority (NHA) and the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to roll out e-Sushrut@Clinic, in the presence of Union Health Secretary Smt. Punya Salila Srivastava, here today.

e-Sushrut@Clinic provides a lightweight, cloud-based Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) designed specifically for outpatient clinics. This government-backed Health Management Information System (HMIS) is designed specifically for small and medium healthcare providers. It marks a pivotal step in expanding the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) ecosystem. ABDM, launched in September 2021 by the Honble Prime Minister, aims to support the development integrated digital health infrastructure of the country. It will bridge the existing gap among different stakeholders of the healthcare ecosystem through digital highways.

During the MoU signing, Smt. Punya Salila Srivastava, stated that the demand for an affordable government-backed HMIS was persisting for a long time. With CDACs collaboration, we expect e-Sushrut@Clinic to empower and cater to tens of thousands of doctors and facility managers nationwide- improving efficiency, data security, and patient satisfaction. Since the version is ABDM-enabled, it will help in the adoption of ABDM and help create an interoperable digital health ecosystem, she further added.

Shri Vivek Khaneja, Executive Director of C-DAC, NOIDA also stated, this is a great partnership with the National Health Authority, marking an important step toward bringing digital healthcare to the whole country. By simplifying digital adoption for healthcare providers, it will help speed up the creation of a transparent and interconnected digital health ecosystem, ultimately providing faster, more reliable care to patients everywhere.

The need for this software arose from feedback during the rollout of ABDM microsites, which highlighted a demand for a trustworthy, government-backed digital solution. Recognizing that many AIIMS hospitals already successfully use C-DACs systems, the e-Sushrut@Clinic was developed to bring the same proven solution and credibility to private stakeholders. With the official support of the NHA, this initiative provides a secure and reliable platform, addressing a critical need for a trusted Health Management Information System in the private sector.

Several utilities and features of ABDM will be available in eSushrut@Clinic. For instance, the healthcare providers would use the AIIMS Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) service for hypertension and diabetes, which is being provided free for all ABDM-integrated software. This CDSS helps improve patient care by supporting doctors in making better diagnoses and treatment.

Ms. V. Hekali Zhimomi, Chief Executive Officer, NHA, Shri Kiran Gopal Vaska, Joint Secretary Mission Director (ABDM), Shri Rajiv Yadav, Scientist G, CDAC, and Shri Ajay Gupta, Scientist F, CDAC were also present on the occasion.
