FAQ On ABDM

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ On Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission ABDM

Are Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission and National Digital Health Mission the same?
Yes. The pilot project was launched with the name of National Digital Health Mission (NDHM) in the six union territories of Ladakh, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Puducherry, Lakshadweep and Andaman and Nicobar Islands on 15th August 2020. The nationwide rollout of this pilot project was announced by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi on 27th September 2021 with the name “Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission” (ABDM).

What are the problems that ABDM seeks to address?
As in case of many other sectors, the healthcare sector is also undergoing rapid digitization. Digitization has helped the healthcare industry create, store, access, share and analyze records in a more efficient manner. Further, it also helps in proper clinical decision making and in public health and research.

However, this ecosystem is extremely fragmented with hundreds of players and different types of standards being used. This does not allow for the sharing of information from one healthcare provider (hospitals, doctors, etc.) to another healthcare provider or from a stakeholder to another stakeholder unless they are using the same interconnected system.

This is a major problem which has not allowed the benefit of digitization to reach citizens and healthcare providers. Therefore, it is a necessity to create a system which will bring all these different and disparate digital health systems together to create an integrated system of systems i.e. ecosystem. Thus, ABDM intends to create the National Digital Health Ecosystem (NDHE) for India.

How can I become a part of the ABDM Ecosystem?
You can become a part of the ABDM ecosystem by registering or integrating yourself in respective capacity. E.g.- citizens/individuals/patients, healthcare professionals such as doctors of all systems of medicines, nurses, paramedics etc., healthcare facilities such as hospitals, clinics, laboratories, radiology centers, pharmacies, digital health solution providers, etc. For understanding how you can register/integrate into the ecosystem in your respective capacity as a stakeholder, please click on the relevant question in respective chapter.
