Delhi to implement cloud-based Health Information Management System by next year

The massive project would see every Delhiite get an e-health card and have their medical history available online when they see a doctor after taking an appointment from home.

After HIMS is implemented, Delhiites would be able to take an online appointment and consult the designated doctor within a fixed time-frame.

Plans are afoot to distribute the e-health cards through a door-to-door campaign, apart from providing them at hospitals and other dedicated centres.

The QR code-based cards would be issued on the basis of voter ID and population registry, from which demographic and basic clinical information of each patient would be obtained.
