New e-Sushrut@Clinic to Drive ABDM Adoption Across Healthcare

The new platform is designed to empower doctors and create an interoperable digital health ecosystem. e-Sushrut@Clinic is a lightweight, cloud-based HMIS developed for outpatient clinics.

The National Health Authority (NHA) and the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to roll out e-Sushrut@Clinic, in the presence of Union Health Secretary Smt. Punya Salila Srivastava.

The new platform is designed to empower doctors and create an interoperable digital health ecosystem. e-Sushrut@Clinic is a lightweight, cloud-based Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) developed for outpatient clinics, particularly small and medium healthcare providers.

“The demand for an affordable government-backed HMIS was persisting for a long time. With CDAC’s collaboration, we expect e-Sushrut@Clinic to empower and cater to tens of thousands of doctors and facility managers nationwide- improving efficiency, data security, and patient satisfaction,” Srivastava said.

“Since the version is ABDM-enabled, it will help in the adoption of ABDM and help create an interoperable digital health ecosystem,” she added.

Recognizing that many AIIMS hospitals already successfully use C-DAC’s systems, the e-Sushrut@Clinic was developed to bring the same solution and credibility to private stakeholders.

With the official support of the NHA, the platform provides a secure and reliable option, addressing the need for a trusted Health Management Information System in the private sector.

“This is a great partnership with the National Health Authority, marking an important step toward bringing digital healthcare to the whole country. By simplifying digital adoption for healthcare providers, it will help speed up the creation of a transparent and interconnected digital health ecosystem, ultimately providing faster, more reliable care to patients everywhere,” said Vivek Khaneja, Executive Director of C-DAC.

The application is a lighter version of C-DAC’s e-Sushrut HMIS software, already in use at 17 AIIMS and more than 4,000 health facilities across India.

Healthcare providers can onboard the software through the Health Facility Registry (HFR) and Health Professionals Registry (HPR) using a laptop or mobile. Providers not registered on HFR or HPR will be able to register on e-Sushrut@Clinic itself.

“This will make it much easier for doctors in both public and private clinics to access and update patient health records, offer telemedicine services, and streamline diagnostics and prescriptions. eSushrut@Clinic is tailored for outpatient management, pharmacy, and nursing modules, and delivers essential functionalities at a low per-user cost,” the Ministry of Health said.

The platform enables small clinics, sub-centres, and medium-sized hospitals to digitise patient records, prescriptions, and billing with minimal technical overhead.

Several ABDM utilities will also be available in e-Sushrut@Clinic. For instance, providers will be able to use the AIIMS Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) service for hypertension and diabetes, which is free for all ABDM-integrated software. The CDSS aims to support doctors in better diagnoses and treatment.

The MoU was signed in the presence of Ms. V. Hekali Zhimomi, Chief Executive Officer, NHA, Shri Kiran Gopal Vaska, Joint Secretary & Mission Director (ABDM), Shri Rajiv Yadav, Scientist G, CDAC, and Shri Ajay Gupta, Scientist F, CDAC.
