**Vashi Municipal Hospital Ranks Among Top Three in Maharashtra for Online Patient Registrations via Aabha App**
Vashi Municipal Hospital has emerged as one of the top three hospitals in Maharashtra for online patient registrations through the Aabha app, a key component of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). This innovative app enables patients to bypass long queues for case paper registration by allowing them to scan QR codes and obtain tokens instantly, making hospital visits faster and more convenient.
**High Adoption and Token Issuance**
Since its launch, the Aabha app has issued over 5.36 lakh tokens, with approximately 65% of patients now opting to use the online registration facility. The success of this initiative has extended beyond Vashi Municipal Hospital and is also being implemented at Masaheb Minatai Thakre Hospital in Nerul and Rajmata Jijau Hospital in Airoli. These hospitals are among the leading municipal healthcare centers in Maharashtra embracing digital registration.
**How the App Works**
Using the Aabha app is simple and user-friendly:
– Patients download the app on their smartphones.
– Upon arrival at the hospital, they scan the barcode displayed at the facility.
– Instantly, they receive a token number for their Outpatient Department (OPD) consultations.
To further streamline the process, hospital screens display token numbers, assigned doctors, and room details, helping patients navigate the hospital efficiently and reduce wait times.
**Benefits of Digital Medical Records**
A major advantage of the Aabha app is the digital storage of medical records. Patients can access their complete health history anytime, which facilitates continuity of care. Meanwhile, doctors can provide faster and more accurate diagnoses and treatments by having immediate access to patients’ medical information.
**Government Support and Encouragement**
Municipal Commissioner Dr. Kailas Shinde praised the initiative, stating, “This digital initiative is a boon for patients, saving them time and effort. We urge all citizens visiting Vashi Municipal Hospital and other NMMC hospitals to download the Aabha app and make full use of its facilities for a smooth, queue-free hospital experience.”
With the integration of digital technology like the Aabha app, Maharashtra’s municipal hospitals are setting a new standard in patient care, making healthcare services more accessible and efficient for everyone.
