**Impact Analysis**
**Small Outpatient Clinics and Private Practitioners**
**Impact**
Clinics can transition from manual to digital processes using an affordable, government-backed system that reduces errors and simplifies compliance with national digital health standards.
**Action Required**
Clinics must complete the HPR and HFR onboarding process to verify their credentials before they can utilize the software.
**Government Healthcare Facilities (PHCs, HWCs, and Subcenters)**
**Impact**
Small-scale public facilities gain access to a "light" HMIS tailored to their specific needs, facilitating easier digitization in regions where adoption is currently nascent.
**Action Required**
State and Union Territory authorities must coordinate the rollout and ensure staff are available for training provided by C-DAC and the NHA.
**National Health Authority (NHA) and C-DAC**
**Impact**
The NHA takes on a facilitating and financial role to drive ABDM adoption, while C-DAC serves as the technical developer and auditor.
**Action Required**
NHA must manage the financial disbursement for hosting and SMS charges, while C-DAC must ensure continuous software upgradation and L1 support training.

Launches eSushrut@clinic – light ABDM enabled
HMIS made by C-DAC for small clinics
eSushrut@Clinic will address inefficiencies in digitization of
health system in small clinics and the need for a government
backed and affordable HMIS
प्रव तथ: 29 JUN 2026 4:54PM by PIB Delhi
Many small outpatient clinics face challenges with manual processes and lack of affordable digital
solutions. Large HMIS (Hospital Management Information System) are often too complex and costly for
these clinics. As a result, clinics struggle with inefficiencies in digitization of health system. The need of
having a government backed and an affordable HMIS has been coming from various microsite participants
in spite of a large number of private HMIS players. Many States/UTs have also expressed interest to use a
light HMIS for their public facilities. Given that the digitization in the healthcare sector is still nascent,
making available an HMIS for them would be useful for the adoption of ABDM.
To address this issue, Union Health Minister Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda launched the e-Sushrut@Clinic,
here today. eSushrut@Clinic, a light HMIS was created by C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced
Computing) to address these challenges by providing a simple, affordable, and user-friendly digital
solution specifically tailored for small outpatient clinics. It is proposed to open this HMIS for government
PHCs, HWCs, Subcenters and private clinics. Currently, 800+ health facilities are onboarded on
eSushrut@Clinic, generating over 680 health records. C-DAC is also implementing the eSushrut software,
which is being installed at more than 15 AIIMS and in various State government hospitals.

e-Sushrut@Clinic provides a lightweight, cloud-based HMIS designed specifically for outpatient clinics
which includes:

HPR and HFR are part of the onboarding process. Non HPR doctors cannot use this ensuring that only
authentic doctors are able to use eSushrut@Clinic
ABDM related latest features will be part of the package (for eg. Find ABHA, CDSS, Scan & Share,
Speech to text)The National Health Authority (NHA), as part of its role to increase the adoption of Digital Health &
ABDM is signing an MoU with C-DAC. Under the MoU, C-DAC will take care of maintenance and
upgradation of the software while NHA will provide facilitation and financial support. The financial
support proposed to be given to C-DAC is on the following accounts:
SMS charges to the patients regarding ABDM and other notifications

NHA is also extending the services of the call center to provide L1 support to the customers. The training
of the call center employees and the audit of quality will be done by C-DAC.
