Patient Registration (ABHA / UHID)
The problem
Front desks re-key the same patient across OPD, lab, pharmacy and billing. Duplicates pile up, ABHA stays unlinked, and consent is on paper or nowhere.
How OneCity handles it
One patient master with a hospital UHID, optional ABHA linkage, and consent captured at the counter. Every downstream module reads the same record.

- ABDM (ABHA / PHR) — Health Data Management Policy
- DPDP Act 2023 — consent & purpose limitation
- Section 357C CrPC — free care flag for survivors
- POCSO Act 2012 — minor handling
Integrations
- ABHA / ABDM
- FHIR R4 Patient
- DigiLocker
Vendor integrations run in stub mode — payloads generated to spec, live posting enabled per site after onboarding.
Questions
Does registration require ABHA?+
No. ABHA is optional and linked when the patient consents. A local UHID is always generated so the patient can be served immediately.
How is duplicate registration prevented?+
The master de-duplicates on phone, name and date of birth at entry and flags likely matches before a new record is created.
Where is consent stored?+
Consent is captured against the patient record with timestamp and purpose, per DPDP Act 2023.
Every OneCity module ties into the same shared patient record and compliance tracking, not a separate silo. For how this fits your broader accreditation planning, see our guide to NABH accreditation software. If you are still working out rollout timing, our guide to realistic ERP implementation timelines covers how modules like this one typically get sequenced. Pricing for this module is included from the Starter tier upward — see the full pricing breakdown, or the complete module list for how it fits alongside everything else.
