Long queues, lengthy OPD, and registration processes at government hospitals were quite common earlier. However, with the introduction of the Health ID, a 14-digit unique identification number, the waiting period in the hospitalisation process has significantly dropped. This Health ID is also known as the Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) number.
How ABHA is changing the face of the Indian healthcare ecosystem?
When you generate your Health ID or ABHA number, you can digitally sync and store all your medical history, reports, and prescriptions on your Health Locker.
At the time of admission, you can scan the QR code using the Bajaj Finserv Health app to automatically share your necessary details with the hospital. Moreover, you can also give permission to share your medical history and records for doctor's assessment.
More than 200 state hospitals have adopted this QR code system under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission. This system was first introduced in Delhi's Lady Hardinge Medical College. This has now been adopted by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi and Bengaluru's CV Raman General Hospital, among others. Approximately one lakh patients have been admitted for OPD procedures via QR codes.
ABHA makes the registration process simpler
Bajaj Finserv Health aims to make healthcare readily available and accessible to people across the country. We have partnered with the government to provide a platform for people to sign-up for ABHA. If you do not have an ABHA ID, the hospital offers services to create an account. You can visit the official Bajaj Finserv Health website or download the Bajaj Finserv Health app to create your ABHA ID.
Create ABHA ID using your mobile number:
- Enter your registered mobile number on the Bajaj Finserv Health app
- Verify the OTP and fill your basic details
- Choose your ABHA address
Create ABHA ID using your Aadhaar Number:
- Enter your Aadhaar number on the Bajaj Finserv Health app
- Verify the OTP received on your mobile number linked
- Fill in your basic details and choose your ABHA address
With huge patient in-flow at government hospitals, the hospitalisation process is slow and time-consuming. Before ABHA, each patient's admission process took approximately 30 to 60 minutes due to manual data entry. However, ABHA, a QR code-based system for fast patient registration, has helped eliminate the time taken during outpatient registration. This QR code is displayed at the registration counter and can be scanned using a mobile phone.
If you already have an ABHA number, you can register in just a few easy steps.
- Scan the QR code using the Bajaj Finserv Health app
- Automatically share your personal details like name, age, gender, and pin code with the hospital registration team
- Share the token number sent to your registered mobile number at the hospital's fast-track counter and generate the OPD slip instantly
