Health minister JP Nadda unveils Inter-AIIMS Referral for patient management

Union health minister JP Nadda on Tuesday unveiled the “Inter-AIIMS Referral” portal, developed indigenously by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi for healthcare management and patient referral systems across the country by introducing technological solutions within the AIIMS network.

Starting as a pilot project, it will initially connect AIIMS New Delhi and AIIMS Bilaspur for broader implementation across the entire network of AIIMS hospitals. This phase will serve as a critical testing ground to refine operational protocols and address practical challenges, laying the foundation for an integrated, nationwide system.

The Inter-AIIMS Referral project incorporates state-of-the-art technologies, including facial recognition systems and automated workflows, to ensure seamless, secure, and transparent referral processes. These innovations are designed to reduce waiting times, minimize manual errors, and create a more patient-centric healthcare experience.
