1. From Paper Records to Digital Health: The ASHA Journey
Before we begin, let’s watch a short video that follows the journey of an experienced ASHA worker. The video shows how healthcare has changed from paper-based records to digital systems and how digital tools have made the work of ASHAs easier and more effective.
From the video, we learn that:
Digital Health uses mobile phones, computers, and digital applications to improve healthcare services.
Digital systems help keep beneficiary records safe, complete, and easy to access.
Information entered by ASHAs can be shared with other health workers, helping ensure continuity of care.
Accurate and timely data entry helps ensure that no eligible beneficiary is missed for screening, treatment, or follow-up.
Digital records reduce duplicate work and make reporting faster and more accurate.
With training and regular practice, every ASHA can confidently use digital applications.
