Digital Health Incentive Scheme (DHIS)

Digital health records have grown significantly since ABDM launched. Even so, many people still use non-digital healthcare services, so there is room to grow and to digitise health fully across India.

To boost digital health transactions, the National Health Authority (NHA) has launched an incentive scheme, the Digital Health Incentive Scheme or DHIS, for all healthcare providers who contribute to the digital health ecosystem.

Through DHIS, doctors can play a key role in digitising patients' health records while earning up to ₹4 crore.

DHIS also encourages the makers of digital health software, such as Hospital/Health Management Information Systems (HMIS) and Laboratory Information Systems, to take part.
