Tamil Nadu has integrated over 2,400 government healthcare facilities into its 'e-Nalam' (HMIS 3.0) digital system to streamline patient data collection and service delivery. The system captures real-time outpatient and inpatient data to improve healthcare continuity and administrative decision-making.
Why it matters
Digital health infrastructure is critical for improving public health outcomes and resource allocation in large-scale government healthcare systems.
Tamil Nadu has brought 2,423 government healthcare facilities, ranging from primary health centres and health and wellness centres to sub-district hospitals, district headquarters hospitals, and medical college hospitals, onboard the State’s Health Management Information System 3.0 (HMIS 3.0). All these hospitals are already capturing outpatient details in real-time.
The in-patient module has already been operationalised in some hospitals, while the remaining facilities are in the process of implementing it soon.
According to the 2025-2026 policy note of the Health and Family Welfare Department, HMIS is a crucial digital initiative aimed at streamlining healthcare data collection, analysis, and reporting. It integrates various public health programmes, hospital records, and patient care data to improve decision-making and service delivery.
