What is Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission?

The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) is aiming that any Healthcare provider who is creating health data (diagnostic reports, discharge summaries, prescriptions, etc.) digitally should be able to share these records with the patients and fetch records issued by other providers with user consent.

Components of ABDM ecosystem

  • Health Information Provider (FIP)
  • Health Information User (FIU)
  • ABHA Mobile App (PHR)
  • ABHA Number
  • Health Repository Provider
  • Health Locker service

How does a healthcare provider integrate into ABDM ecosystem?

The software being used by the provider must integrate with the digital building blocks of ABDM and comply with the guidelines outlined by ABDM and NHA.

There are four key steps today to register, integrate and exit the Sandbox environment.

Step 1: Registration on the Sandbox website

Step 2: Receiving approval to integrate in Sandbox

Step 3: Sandbox exit post integration

Exit will be permitted if the application developed undergoes the following checks:

  • Functional Testing: NDHM has detailed a recommended patient journey to benefit the patient, healthcare facility and doctors for the pilot phase. The functional testing process maps compliance against this recommended workflow.
  • Web Application Security Assessment (WASA): Assessment to identify security vulnerabilities within the application; conducted as per OWASP 10 standards (Refer:https://owasp.org/wwwproject-top-ten/) by STQC/CERT-IN empaneled agencies only
  • Final clearance by internal NHA committee: Results of the Functional Testing and WASA are put forth before an internal committee to provide final sign off to the application

Step 4: Registration on Health Facility Registry (applicable for healthcare facility participation)
