Mandating ABHA Health ID Linkage for Patients in Private Hospitals and Clinics
Abstract
The ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) initiative by the National Health Authority (NHA) aims to digitize health records across India. The National Medical Commission (NMC) mandates private medical colleges to register patients using ABHA, with medical seat allocations tied to the number of ABHA-linked patients. This requirement extends to private hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Implementing ABHA linkage is essential for compliance and operational efficiency. Nice HMS, a triple milestone-certified Hospital Information Management System, offers an economical and robust solution for seamless ABHA integration.

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has directed private medical colleges to register their patients using the ABHA linkage. Furthermore, it has stated that the number of medical seats allocated to these colleges will depend on the number of ABHA-linked patients for both outpatient (OPD) and inpatient (IPD) services.
This linkage of ABHA for private hospitals is now mandated for other private healthcare facilities as well. This directive comes following an observation in Karnataka's Dharwad district, where the district health officer sent a circular to all healthcare providers mandating ABHA-based patient registration in private healthcare. Additionally, there were several directions regarding the display of boards and other related matters.
Although many private healthcare units have started implementing this ABHA linking, the government's move to mandate ABHA linking for private healthcare is becoming a reality in the near future.
Nice HMS, a triple milestone-certified Hospital Information Management System (HIMS), is one of the most economical, robust, and user-friendly products available. It will assist healthcare providers in linking their patients to ABHA. If any private healthcare facility is looking for a new HIMS, it is crucial to check for systems that are ABDM triple milestone certified, like Nice HMS. At Nice HMS, we provide the best software that not only supports ABHA linking but also features robust accounting and other modules like UHI and the upcoming HCX.
