Aiming to boost efficiency and transparency in the public health system, the Delhi government will soon introduce a centralised Health Management Information System (HMIS) in all state-run hospitals, Health Minister Pankaj Singh said on Thursday.
Under the plan, all Delhi hospitals will establish a centralised healthcare control room with a robust dashboard to monitor real-time data such as bed availability, medicine stocks, diagnostic trends, and resource utilisation.

Integrated with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), the system will facilitate centralised alerts and generate actionable insights to improve decision-making and governance.
The dashboard will feature digital tools for patient registration, appointments, billing, diagnostics, ward management, and more. Patients will also be able to access their reports and prescriptions through mobile apps and WhatsApp.
“Delhi’s healthcare future lies in smart, connected, and citizen-centric systems. Our vision is to eliminate inefficiencies, empower doctors, and provide patients with seamless access to care. We are working towards a single digital health platform where real-time data from all hospitals, including primary health centres and super-speciality hospitals, can be viewed through one unified dashboard,” Singh said.
