Introduction • Aarogyasri is a unique health insurance scheme being implemented by Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) to assist the BPL families to meet the catastrophic health needs. • This is a public private partnership promoted between the Insurance Company, the private sector hospitals and the State agencies. • In 2009 - 2010, around 3,50,000 patients got benefited out of this scheme. www.blazeautomation.com
Process Flow of the Beneficiary Treatment in the Network Hospital Step 1Beneficiaries approach nearby PHC/Area Hospitals/District Hospital/Network Hospital. Aarogyamithras placed in the above hospitals facilitate the beneficiary. If beneficiary visits any other PHC/Government hospital other than the Network Hospital, he/she will be given a referral card to the Network Hospital after preliminary diagnosis by the doctors. The Beneficiary may also attend the Health Camps being conducted by the Network Hospital in the Villages and can get the referral card based on the diagnosis. Step 2The Aarogyamithras at the Network Hospital examines the referral card and health card/BPL ration card and facilitates the beneficiary to undergo preliminary diagnosis and basic tests. Step 3The Network Hospital, based on the diagnosis, admits the patient and sends preauthorization request to the Insurance company and the Aarogyasri Health Care Trust. www.blazeautomation.com
Process Flow of the Beneficiary Treatment in the Network Hospital (continued) Step 4Specialists of the Insurance Company and the Trust examine the preauthorization request and approve preauthorization if all the conditions are satisfied within 12 working hours. Step 5The Network Hospital extends cashless treatment and surgery/therapy to the beneficiary. Step 6Network Hospital after performing the surgery/therapy forwards the original bills, diagnostic reports, case sheet, and satisfactory letter from patient, discharge summary duly signed by the patient and other relevant documents to Insurance Company for settlement of the claim. Step 7Insurance Company scrutinizes the bills and gives approval for the sanction of the bill and shall make the payment within agreed period www.blazeautomation.com
Drawbacks of the Existing System and solution to improvise the same • Lack of Patient Tracking from the time of Enrolment till the Discharge • Possibilities for Duplication of Patients and there is lot of scope for such • other malpractices • Completely Manual System with no proper Real time auditing • and many more of this kind… Consequences • Increased Burden on the Government • Decrease in the number of Beneficiaries Proposed Solution Introduction of Automation for “Real Time Patient Tracking” in the Designated Hospitals through the Central Monitoring Facility. www.blazeautomation.com
What is Real Time Patient Tracking ? “Real Time Patient Tracking is a subset of Context-Aware Healthcare Solution where the Patient movement is tracked and Recorded for the entire treatment cycle for improved Customer Satisfaction and Enhanced Resource utilization in atypical hospital environment” www.blazeautomation.com
