ABHA M1: A Unique Identifier for Patient Empowerment
- Creating New ABHA ID for Patients:
- Patients can create their ABHA ID during their initial visit to a healthcare facility or at the convenience of their homes digitally. This unique identifier lays the digital foundation, linking patients to a centralized health account.
- Seamless Patient Registration:
ABHA M1 advocates using a unique identifier in the patient registration process. This ensures swift and efficient registration, minimizes paperwork, and streamlines the initial stages of healthcare interaction.
ABHA M2: The Power of Linking Health Records
- Linking Electronic Records with ABHA ID:
ABHA M2 establishes a crucial link between a patient’s electronic health records and their ABHA ID. This linkage consolidates health data, making it easily accessible and ensures a comprehensive view of the patient’s medical history.
- Patient Notification:
In a commitment to transparency, patients are notified every time their medical records are linked with their ABHA ID. This consent-based, real-time notification fosters trust and informs individuals about their health data.
- Patient Access via PHR App:
ABHA M2 takes a significant leap in patient empowerment by providing access to health records through the Personal Health Record (PHR) app. This app is a digital gateway for patients to conveniently view and manage their health information.
ABHA M3: Connecting Healthcare Providers and Patients
- Healthcare Providers’ Access:
ABHA M3 introduces a groundbreaking feature, allowing healthcare providers access to a patient’s comprehensive healthcare records. With patient consent provided through the ABHA PHR app, this access enables more informed and coordinated care.
Informed and Coordinated Care:
Consent-based access to healthcare providers provides a holistic view of a patient’s medical history and treatments. This feature encourages individuals to make informed decisions regarding their health.
Conclusion:
Towards a Patient-Centric Healthcare Future:
The ABHA M1, M2, and M3 collectively signify a transformative journey towards patient-centric digital healthcare. The creation of unique identifiers, seamless record linkage, patient notifications, and provider access converge to create an ecosystem that empowers individuals and enhances the efficiency of healthcare delivery.
As ABHA continues to evolve, it redefines patient interactions within the healthcare system and sets the stage for a future where individuals actively participate in managing their health journey.
