According to the news reports, the upgraded TMS 2.0 portal employs cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to detect fraud, a feature that was not present in its predecessor, TMS 1.0. Diwakar warned hospitals against omitting critical details, such as patients' phone numbers and those of their attendants, during the registration process. Additionally, he mentioned that these cases would result in an outright rejection by the authorities.
The training session was also attended by several officials from BSSS and ADRI, including Ritesh Mishra, Santosh Jha, Dr. Suraj Shankar, and Satyendra Kumar, who provided essential insights on the functioning of the upgraded system.
