Udupi District Hospital Achieves 70% Digitalisation, Moves to Paperless System

Udupi district hospital has taken a significant step towards digital transformation by introducing a paperless system. The initiative, announced by hospital officials, has already brought 70% of patient records, billing, and administrative processes into the electronic domain.

According to the healthcare department, the move reduces paperwork, cuts down error rates, and speeds up the retrieval of medical histories. Staff members have received training on new cloud‑based platforms that keep data secure yet accessible across departments.

The digitalisation is expected to improve patient care, lower operating costs, and set a precedent for other hospitals in the region. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
