Key Highlights:
Dr Mannan Akhtar, IAS, Special Secretary, Health & Family Welfare Department, & State Mission Director, ABDM, Uttar Pradesh:
+ Collection of data is an issue in the healthcare sector as there are touch points like Asha Kendras where real time data collection is difficult. However, interoperability is further difficult as there are no fix protocols or SOPs yet
Khushaal Yadav, Jt CEO, Rajasthan State Health Assurance Agency, Rajasthan:
+ The data being collected has to be accurate. Also there should be a model where it is more about data-driven decisions and not just decisions based on instincts or past experiences
Dr B Viduthalai Virumbi, Nodal Officer (Technical), Population Health Registry & State Digital Health Mission, Government of Tamil Nadu:
+ There should be a participatory approach so that all the stakeholders have a certain ownership and visibility of the data
T Karthik Reddy, GM, Aarogyasri Healthcare Trust, Telangana:
+ Having a uniformity in data collection is helpful. ‘Aarogya Setu’ is one of the examples of such uniform data collection
Prashant Rai, Sr Business Solution Manager, SAS India:
+ By the use of advance analytics you can augment the data which is lying in the forms of images, texts, videos, etc
Indrani Laskar, Joint Secretary, Health Department, Government of Assam:
+ Sometimes we don’t act upon the data insights so we need to avoid such practices.
