However, majority of these initiatives are designed with very specific clinical or administrative purposes and lack a comprehensive ecosystem approach resulting in multiple applications and digital portals in use for their health system. This cascades into poor accountability and performance, time and resource wastage, lack of continuum of care, and low coverage of health services, resulting in poor health outcomes.

The project intends to demonstrate end to end digitization in healthcare and develop a digital saturation model at district level, leveraging fit for purpose digital solutions/interventions through the use case of improving reproductive, maternal and child health service delivery indicators. The district saturation model will include coverage across rural & urban areas and service delivery across public and private sectors. The focus will be on digitizing healthcare facilities, community health initiatives/programs and deploying innovations for accelerating service delivery across continuum of care. The project aims to form a digitally competent health workforce, improve access to health and systems-level data for resource planning and management, enable creation of longitudinal health records for patients, and enable interoperability of digital systems across healthcare facilities. This will result in data-driven decision-making leading to improved access and service coverage, citizen empowerment, quality care, and enhanced healthcare provider accountability.
