About the System Integrators in Digital Health (SIDH) Program

The System Integrators in Digital Health (SIDH) Program is an initiative by the National Health Authority (NHA) designed to accelerate the digital transformation of hospitals across India. The program helps small to mid-sized hospitals seamlessly adopt Hospital Management Information Systems (HMIS) and Electronic Medical Records (EMR), which are critical to improving hospital efficiency and the overall patient experience.

How Does SIDH Program Work?

The SIDH program connects hospitals with experienced System Integrator Partners (SIDH Partners) who provide end-to-end support in implementing HMIS/EMR solutions. SIDH Partners are technology experts rigorously evaluated and selected to ensure that your hospital receives the best possible guidance and support.

Together with ABDM-certified EMR vendors, the SIDH partner will help hospitals implement digital health solutions that are customized to meet their specific needs. This ensures that the systems are not just installed, but also adopted effectively for long-term success.

Benefits for Hospitals

  • Tailored Digital Health Solutions: The program offers personalized support to help you choose and implement an HMIS/EMR system that fits your hospital's size, capacity, and goals.
  • Support from Trusted Partners: The SIDH Partners and EMR vendors you’ll work with are industry experts with a proven track record in healthcare technology.
  • Training and Technical Support: The SIDH program offers training for your staff to ensure that the new systems are fully integrated into daily operations.
The SIDH program is being initially rolled out at four key locations: Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Cochin, and Jaipur, with plans for nationwide expansion.
To support this rollout, Ernst & Young (EY) has been appointed as the implementation partner.
