ABDM

Network Architecture

The ABDM Digital Framework

HFR

Health Facility Registry

The national directory of hospitals, clinics, and labs.

HPR

Financial ROI

Digital Health Incentive Scheme

Hospitals earn ₹20 per additional transaction above the base threshold of 50 transactions per bed per month. For a 50-bed hospital, every record after the first 2,500 earns direct revenue.

Data Security

Security & Consent-Based Flow

Clearing the 'Central Database' Myth

Data is encrypted at rest & in transit, following international FHIR R4 standards.

Myth: Data is stored in a central ABDM government database

Fact: Health records remain safely within the hospital (HIP). Only metadata and consent are managed centrally.

Myth: Anyone can see my health records

Fact: Data is only shared when you provide explicit consent to a specific HIU for a specific duration.

Myth: ABHA is a replacement for insurance

Fact: ABHA is a digital identity. It helps in insurance claims (NHCX) but doesn't replace the policy.
