The National Health Authority (NHA) under its Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) scheme is enabling digital interventions for bringing efficiency in delivery of healthcare services. One such intervention is the Scan and Share service that is enabling instant registrations for patients at OPD (Out-patient Department) blocks of participating hospitals. This service was introduced by NHA on 6th Oct 2022.
With the Scan and Share feature, hospitals are offering digital registration services to their patients via direct sharing of their Ayushmaan Bharat Health Account (ABHA) profile. This helps patients get instant registration tokens without having to stand in queues and without entering many details.
Any citizen/patient who wishes to participate in ABDM must start by creating the Ayushmaan Bharat Health Account (ABHA). ABHA Number, similar to a bank account number, is a randomly generated 14 digit number used for the purposes of uniquely identifying persons and authenticating them, and linking their health records across multiple systems and stakeholders.
This service was introduced by NHA on 6th Oct 2022 at Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC) & Smt. Sucheta Kriplani Hospital (SSKH) Hospital in New Delhi. The Scan and Share service is presently operational across over 5435 healthcare facilities spanning across 546 districts in 35 States and Union Territories of India.

To drive further adoption of the Scan and Share service among hospitals and Digital Solution Companies (DSCs) providing technology to healthcare facilities, NHA offers financial incentives through the ABDM's Digital Health Incentive Scheme (DHIS) for 'Scan and Share' transactions and the generation of electronic health records.
