New Delhi: The Health Ministry has passed an order, directing all the central government hospitals to go paperless to ensure transparency and good governance.
As per an official source, the hospitals have been directed to use E-office and maintain all files digitally. The official added that the health ministry is organising special training sessions to implement the same.
The official said, "It has been decided that all new files will be accepted in electronics mode only from July 1. No file which is being moved for the first time will be accepted in the physical mode and all sections are required to submit these files through e-office only."
Many central government hospitals have begun training their employees so that they could easily adapt to the new system, reports the Times of India.
In addition to the central government hospitals like all AllMS, RML Hospital and Safdarjung Hospital, the health ministry and its allied institutions would be going into paperless mode since July 1.
The official added, "The idea is to have transparency and efficiency in the system. Digitisation of records will help in a big way in the long term."
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported about Narayana Hrudayalaya, a leading healthcare service provider with hospitals and care centres spread across India, an initiative to go paperless by digitizing most of their business-critical operations, partnering with Cisco in this endeavour. When NH embarked on this mission, they were confident of their expertise in healthcare.
However, they recognized the need to overhaul their information technology (IT) and network infrastructure to manage an expanding array of healthcare centres. They also wanted to standardize their network architecture to address specific challenges.
