The State-run K.C. General Hospital has won appreciation for linking the highest number of health records of patients to their Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts (ABHAs) and generating ‘Scan and Share’ tokens during a month-long digital health drive in the State. ‘Scan and Share’ is a QR code-based Fast Track Queue System for patient registration.
The hospital has linked 65,623 health records and generated 45,641 ‘Scan and Share’ tokens during the Digital Health Marathon conducted between February 7 and April 6. While K.C. General Hospital is followed by C.V. Raman General Hospital and Jayanagar General Hospital in terms of linking health records, Jayanagar General Hospital and Tumakuru District Hospital are in the second and third place respectively in the category of issuing ‘Scan and Share’ tokens.
State Health Commissioner Randeep D., who issued appreciation letters to the top three best-performing hospitals in each category, told The Hindu on Saturday that the Digital Health Marathon was announced to encourage and incentivise hospitals to take up the creation of digital patient records and enable faster queue management under the ‘Scan and Share’ feature of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission.
