Telangana Govt to utilise advanced tech in employees health scheme implementation
The Telangana government is implementing advanced technology to manage its New Employees Health Scheme (NEHS). The initiative involves integrating software, mobile applications, and web portals with existing financial databases to streamline beneficiary management and claims.
Why it matters
Digital transformation in public sector health schemes is essential for improving service delivery and reducing administrative inefficiencies for government employees.
The Telangana Government has taken several steps to leverage advanced technology in effectively implementing the New Employees Health Scheme (NEHS) — which was operationalized a few days ago.
While the services of the existing service provider of Rajiv Arogyasri Health Care Trust will continue, the government has decided to suitably customise and utilise new software, website and mobile application for the scheme. The Employees Healthcare Trust Chief Executive Officer has been directed to develop additional modules as may be required for the scheme, subject to approved procurement and financial procedures. These modules would encompass beneficiary enrolment, health cards, wellness hospital centres, empanelment, claims, payments, audit and grievance redressal.
