There would also be sessions on ABDM policy, legal considerations, the standards landscape, the ABDM action plan for state implementation, and the grievance redressal mechanism.

In addition to the NHA team, various health industry experts and academicians will share their knowledge on IT project management, design thinking for ABDM, Health Management Information systems, data privacy, and healthcare systems engineering and thinking.

State representatives would also share their experiences and learnings from the project's pilot phase, dubbed the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM).

The sessions will be followed by an open house to solicit feedback from the audience. Visits to ABDM integrated health facilities will conclude the workshop. In turn, the workshop will help bring the benefits of the digital health ecosystem to the country's most remote areas, making quality healthcare accessible to all.
