ABHA Linkage
Patients are offered ABHA linkage at registration. The linkage is consent-gated and stored with the patient master. Records can then be pushed to the PHR.
ABDM
The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) defines the national digital health stack — ABHA IDs, Health Information Provider (HIP) and User (HIU) roles, consent-based exchange, the Health Facility Registry (HFR) and the Health Professional Registry (HPR). OneCity is built ABDM-native: every clinical record can flow to the patient's Personal Health Record (PHR) under the consent framework.
Why it matters
ABDM participation is increasingly a condition for government scheme empanelment (PMJAY, CGHS) and will be a differentiator for patient trust.
Patients are offered ABHA linkage at registration. The linkage is consent-gated and stored with the patient master. Records can then be pushed to the PHR.
The hospital acts as a Health Information Provider (HIP), sharing records on consent, and optionally as a Health Information User (HIU), pulling records from other providers.
Every data-sharing request goes through the ABDM consent manager. The hospital cannot push or pull without an active consent artefact.
The hospital is registered in the Health Facility Registry and its doctors in the Health Professional Registry, enabling discoverability.
Clinical records (conditions, medications, diagnostics) are structured as FHIR R4 resources so they can be exchanged with any ABDM-compliant system.

Payloads are generated to ABDM specification and stored. Live exchange enables after HIP onboarding and sandbox clearance, which is a per-hospital process.
No. ABHA linkage is optional and consent-based. Patients without ABHA are served with a local UHID.
