Karnataka: Govt Hospitals to soon go online with patient registrations
Bengaluru: In view of the long queue of patients at the district government hospitals across the state, Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar said that online patient registration, appointments and digital payments would be started in a month. He added that the taluk hospitals would also use the same technique.
The initiative will reduce the number of patients waiting in a long queue for treatments. This will also prevent unnecessary chaos in the hospitals and allow them to focus more on the patient's medical care.
After the visit to the Jayanagara government hospital, the health minister told reporters that staff members had been instructed to provide appointments via SMS or online to lessen congestion.

"This measure is being put into place to reduce long queues. Patients will receive information on which doctor to see and when via SMS or the Internet as part of a system that is currently being developed. Patients won't have to visit the hospital and wait there. Any patient visiting the district hospitals may schedule a visit and make a payment online," Sudhakar said.
