Many small outpatient clinics face challenges with manual processes and lack of affordable digital solutions. Large HMIS (Hospital Management Information System) are often too complex and costly for these clinics. As a result, clinics struggle with inefficiencies in digitization of health system. The need of having a government backed and an affordable HMIS has been coming from various microsite participants in spite of a large number of private HMIS players. Many States/UTs have also expressed interest to use a light HMIS for their public facilities. Given that the digitization in the healthcare sector is still nascent, making available an HMIS for them would be useful for the adoption of ABDM.

To address this issue, Union Health Minister Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda launched the e-Sushrut@Clinic, here today. eSushrut@Clinic, a light HMIS was created by C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) to address these challenges by providing a simple, affordable, and user-friendly digital solution specifically tailored for small outpatient clinics. It is proposed to open this HMIS for government PHCs, HWCs, Subcenters and private clinics. Currently, 800+ health facilities are onboarded on eSushrut@Clinic, generating over 680 health records. C-DAC is also implementing the eSushrut software, which is being installed at more than 15 AIIMS and in various State government hospitals.

Features:

e-Sushrut@Clinic provides a lightweight, cloud-based HMIS designed specifically for outpatient clinics which includes:

• Automates Clinic Operations: Simplifies tasks like patient registration, billing, MIS reporting, Speech to text workflow and Clinical Decision Support System, making work easier and reducing mistakes.
• Affordable Solution: A budget-friendly option for small healthcare facilities and clinics, allowing them to embrace digital healthcare without high costs
• Easy to Use: Designed to be simple and intuitive, with no technical expertise needed from clinic staff.
• Cloud-Based System: A simple platform that can be accessed from any device, without needing complex setups.
• HPR and HFR are part of the onboarding process. Non HPR doctors cannot use this ensuring that only authentic doctors are able to use eSushrut@Clinic
• ABDM related latest features will be part of the package (for eg. Find ABHA, CDSS, Scan & Share, Speech to text)

The National Health Authority (NHA), as part of its role to increase the adoption of Digital Health & ABDM is signing an MoU with C-DAC. Under the MoU, C-DAC will take care of maintenance and upgradation of the software while NHA will provide facilitation and financial support. The financial support proposed to be given to C-DAC is on the following accounts:

• SMS charges to the patients regarding ABDM and other notifications
• Cloud hosting charges of application

NHA is also extending the services of the call center to provide L1 support to the customers. The training of the call center employees and the audit of quality will be done by C-DAC.

The cost of eSushrut@clinic is estimated to be ₹499/month for 5 users. Under the MoU of NHA, a discount of ₹200 will be given making the effective rate to be ₹299/month. The software will be offered at no cost for the initial 3 months. Each additional user beyond the included 5-user limit will be charged at a rate of ₹50 per user.
