India’s National Health Authority (NHA) has introduced eSushrut@Clinic, a free digital platform aimed at small and mid-sized clinics, seeking to replicate the transformational impact of BHIM UPI in digital payments within the healthcare sector.
The platform has been developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) and is integrated with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM).
What is eSushrut@Clinic?
It is a SaaS-based (Software-as-a-Service) lightweight digital system, designed as a simpler alternative to expensive and complex Hospital Information Management Systems (HIMS).
It enables clinics to:
- Digitise patient records
- Manage appointments and OPD workflows
- Streamline consultations
- Access dashboards and administrative tools
- Integrate with the national digital health ecosystem
Clinics can use it via a simple web browser, without investing in heavy IT infrastructure.
Key Feature: Smart Assistant (CDSS)
The platform includes a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) that:
- Provides evidence-based treatment guidance
- Helps manage chronic diseases
- Supports diagnosis and treatment planning
- Assists doctors without replacing clinical judgment
