Indore Hospitals Launch Digital OPD Services Under MP’s INR 300 Cr HIMS Project

The project aims to integrate government healthcare institutions across Madhya Pradesh onto a unified digital network, enabling seamless patient data access, improved inventory management, and streamlined public health administration.

In a major step to strengthen digital medical services in Madhya Pradesh, Government hospitals affiliated with Mahatma Gandhi Memorial (MGM) Medical College in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, have introduced digital outpatient department (OPD) services.

The formal rollout began on October 31, 2026, with Maharaja Yeshwantrao(MY) Hospital.

As part of the implementation, Maharaja Yeshwantrao (MY) Hospital registered 1,537 patients, while MTH Hospital recorded 234 registrations, entering all consultation and treatment details directly into the digital database.

The OPD module is currently operational across other major affiliated facilities as well, including the Super Speciality Hospital, Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya, State Cancer Hospital and MRTB Hospital.

The initiative forms a part of the Madhya Pradesh government's INR 300 crore Hospital Information Management System (HIMS) project.

The project aims to integrate government healthcare institutions across Madhya Pradesh onto a unified digital network, enabling seamless patient data access, improved inventory management and streamlined public health administration.

Under the new system, patient registration, doctors' consultations, diagnostic reports, and treatment-related information are recorded on a centralised digital platform.

The system is designed to enable doctors to access patients' previous medical records during follow-up consultations, including earlier prescriptions, diagnostic investigations, and treatment details.

While digital OPD services have commenced, the transition to fully digital hospital operations is still underway.

Further, the inpatient department (IPD) module is yet to become operational at the hospitals.

As per reports, network cabling and internet connectivity have been established across hospital premises, with desktop computers and handheld tablets yet to be deployed in wards and nursing stations for recording bed allocations, doctors' rounds, and real-time treatment updates.

Hospital authorities are yet to disclose the timeline for the procurement and deployment of the IPD hardware.
