CareLite.

ABHA capture, linking and transaction logs

Designed for the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission ecosystem, subject to NHA approval.

CareLite captures a patient's ABHA number and ABHA address, links it to their hospital UHID after OTP verification through the ABDM gateway, can publish visits and admissions as care contexts so they appear in the patient's own health app, and logs every gateway request and response for NHA review. Live operation depends on the hospital's own registration with the National Health Authority.

What is built

  • ABHA number and ABHA address on the patient record, captured at registration or added later
  • Verification by OTP to the mobile registered against the ABHA, through the ABDM M3 gateway
  • Linking a verified ABHA to the hospital UHID, with one ABHA never sitting on two patient records
  • Publishing care contexts — visits and admissions — so a patient can see them in their own app
  • A complete transaction log of every gateway call, successful or failed, with secrets and OTPs masked
  • Facility (HFR) and practitioner (HPR) identifiers held against the hospital and its doctors

What the hospital has to do

ABDM participation is the hospital's own registration, not the software's. A hospital needs to be listed on the Health Facility Registry and hold client credentials from the National Health Authority. Once those exist they are entered against the hospital and the module is switched on. Moving from the ABDM sandbox to production is a setting, not a software change.

ABDM never blocks treatment

If the gateway is unreachable, the credentials are not yet issued, or the patient simply does not want an ABHA, registration and billing carry on exactly as normal. An ABHA can always be recorded by hand and verified later. The UHID remains the hospital's identity for the patient; ABHA sits beside it. A patient who declines ABDM is not a second-class record.

What is not claimed

CareLite is ABDM-ready in the sense described above. Formal certification and milestone approval rest with the National Health Authority and with the hospital's own application. Health information exchange beyond care-context linking, and clinical document sharing, belong to the clinical modules that sit outside Phase 1.

Common questions

Is CareLite ABDM compliant?

CareLite is ABDM-ready: it captures the ABHA number and address, verifies and links an ABHA to the hospital UHID through the ABDM gateway, can publish visits and admissions as care contexts, and logs every gateway transaction. Formal certification and milestone approval rest with the National Health Authority and with the hospital's own application.

What does the hospital need before ABDM will work?

Registration on the Health Facility Registry and client credentials issued by the National Health Authority. Once those exist they are entered against the hospital and the module is switched on. Moving from the ABDM sandbox to production is a setting, not a software change.

What if a patient does not want an ABHA?

Nothing changes. Registration and billing carry on exactly as normal, and the UHID remains the hospital's identity for that patient. ABDM is additive and never stands between a patient and treatment.

Can one ABHA be linked to two patient records?

No. The system refuses it and names the record the ABHA is already linked to, so duplicate patient records are caught rather than created.
