A Step Toward Better Healthcare: NITI Aayog Proposes National Health Stack

The central government think tank NITI Aayog has unveiled the blue print of National Health Stack (NHS), a shared digital healthcare infrastructure. The blue print is in line with the implementation of the Center’s flagship scheme Ayushman Bharat and other public healthcare programs in the country. The government’s flagship scheme Ayushman Bharat aims to provide a coverage of ₹5 Lakh per family annually and benefit more than 10 crore poor families. The Aayog has invited comments from all stakeholders on the consultation paper. The stakeholders can send their comments by August 1, 2018. According to a consultation paper titled National Health Stack Strategy an Approach, the National Health Stack will facilitate collection of comprehensive healthcare data across the country.

This will allow policy makers to further build their projections around upcoming outcomes, experiment with new services as well as fill the existing gaps in the Indian healthcare industry among others. According to the consultation paper, National Health Stack will provide foundational components that will be required across Ayushman Bharat and other health programs in India. The components include national health electronic registries, a coverage and claims platform, a federated personal health records framework, a national health analytics platform among others. – Inc42
