As part of the Digital India initiative of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, NIC has developed the e-Hospital, e-BloodBank and Online Registration System (ORS) applications. ORS portal was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India on 1st July 2015.
NIC has developed the e-Hospital project with the vision to improve the delivery of healthcare services to the citizens across the country.
The e-Hospital application is the cloud based Hospital Management Information System for digitization of internal workflows and processes of hospitals.
The e-Hospital system is a one-stop solution which helps in connecting patients, hospitals and doctors on a single digital platform.
The e-Hospital application is a web enabled and workflow-based application, hosted at NIC's National Cloud MeghRaj, built on a decentralized multi-instance architecture being used by over 268 hospitals across the country.
The e-Hospital project was initiated with the following objectives:
The e-Hospital application is being offered as an as-is product to the government hospitals across the country through SaaS (Software as a service) model. The modules of e-Hospital application which are currently available on cloud are Patient Registration (OPD & Casualty), IPD (Admission, Discharge & Transfer), Billing, Lab Information System, Radiology Information System, Clinic, Dietary, Laundry, Store & Pharmacy and OT Management.
The e-BloodBank application facilitates the implementation of a complete blood bank management system.
ORS is the online patient portal for citizens to book online appointment for the hospitals. ORS is accessible over Internet at https://ors.gov.in. ORS is a system to link hospitals across the country for booking online appointment and for providing patient centric services like viewing lab reports, checking blood availability status and making online payment.
