#Opensource Healthcare Community for #DigitalHealth #Ecosystem [OpenHealthCODE]

  National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Organizations #NABH, Chapter 10, Information Management Systems [IMS] should now been seen in the light of the National Digital Health Blueprint #NDHB Standards Notified by Govt of India in Nov 2019.    OpenHealthCODE has done the mapping of the #NABH Chapter 10 IMS to #NDHB and the NDHB based Building blocks designed by AHD. Going forward this NABH-NDHB mapping will become a guiding light for NABH Auditors/Assessors evaluating the Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities from a IMS perspective. The same mapping can be extended to Joint Commission International [JCI] management of information [MOI].

Since the start of the Millennium, India has been trying to overcome the problem of interoperability and fragmented healthcare delivery ecosystem across states, health policies and vertical health programs to deliver seamless or uninterrupted continuum of care. With the launch of the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojna (PMJAY), that covers & provides free healthcare to approximately 40 % of the Indian population, it has become critical to identify each patient uniquely. The criticality for unique identification of individuals got highlighted when India was hit by the COVID 19 pandemic – when patient tracking and relevant health information on comorbidities was not available for effectively and efficiently executing surveillance. States and government could only collect aggregated data in non-standard and an unstructured format via door to door screening, which was extremely inefficient and poorly suited for response planning and to effectively combat a pandemic of this size and scale. ...

The Public and Private Health System in India is struggling with multiplicity of information systems being used at central as well as at state level. Each of these systems is unable to exchange data and information with each other. To overcome similar challenges across ministries, the Ministry of Communication and Technologies initiated semantic standardization across various domains under Metadata and Data Standards (MDDS) project. The intent was to promote the growth of e-Governance within the country by establishing interoperability across e-Governance applications for seamless sharing of data and services. MDDS for health domain was created by adopting global standards in such a way that existing applications could be easily upgraded to the MDDS standards.  The exercise yielded approximately 1000 data elements. These data elements were expected to serve as the common minimum data elements for development of IT applications for various sub domains of health care. The need for th...
