To enhance the healthcare experience for patients in hospitals across Jammu and Kashmir, the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) has directed hospital administrators to implement QR code facilities for seamless digital payments. A formal communication has been issued to Medical Superintendents, Associated Hospitals, GMCs, Dental Colleges, as well as Medical Superintendents of District Hospitals, Sub-District Hospitals, and Block Medical Officers across J&K advising them to adopt these digital payment solutions. Despite the availability of interventions to simplify the payment process, officials have observed that people still opt for cash transactions in hospitals. The ABDM, aligned with the Digital India platform, aims to make all payments digital within citizen-centric services provided by the government. Dr. Shafqat Khan, Additional Mission Director, ABDM, J&K emphasized the need for hospitals to facilitate this transition. It was advised to create digital payment facilities for patients in all hospitals/healthcare institutions by providing QR codes of the respective banks for making UPI payments, along with provisions for Debit Card/Credit Card payments through Point of Sale (PoS) machines.<br />
