New Delhi, 17th July 2024: MedLern, a leading digital learning solution for hospitals and healthcare professionals, has successfully partnered with KD Hospital, Ahmedabad in digitizing its L&D strategy. This was one of the initiatives of KD Hospital to secure the prestigious NABH certification for digital health excellence. This milestone reflects the hospital’s commitment to integrating high-quality digital health standards into its day-to-day operations, facilitated by MedLern’s comprehensive training solutions.

The National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) has introduced India’s first Digital Health Standards to ensure the safe and secure use of digital health solutions, aiming to enhance the overall clinical care and quality ecosystem. These standards advocate for a centralized information system that streamlines communication between healthcare facilities and patients, reduces errors, and ensures proper medicine stocking.

Dr Parth Desai, Chief Operating Officer at KD Hospital, expressed his satisfaction with the collaboration, stating, “We are pleased to have shown the way to the entire country in this emerging standard of excellence by embracing digital solutions. Moreover – digital tools like Medlern ensure higher knowledge retention at the point of care – leading to significant improvement of healthcare outcomes.”

Mr. Deepak Sharma, CEO, of MedLern, emphasized the importance of digital learning in healthcare, saying, “Digital learning in healthcare is crucial for strengthening the sector, especially in a country like ours. The NABH digital health standards are a significant step towards realizing the Government’s vision of digital healthcare. Our partnership with KD Hospital has streamlined its L&D operations and initiated a digital transformation through our innovative training modules. We aim to empower more hospitals to maintain or achieve the highest level of digital healthcare.”

MedLern’s comprehensive training solutions, including AI-driven simulation training, address complex training needs across hospital departments. This approach enhances patient outcomes and operational efficiency by automating and innovating in key areas such as time and efficiency management, employee engagement, compliance management, knowledge improvement, and ongoing assessments.

NABH, a constituent board of the Quality Council of India (QCI), operates accreditation programs to enhance the health system and promote continuous quality improvement and patient safety. The NABH digital health standards are organized into different chapters based on various clinical and non-clinical touch-points, ensuring a holistic approach to digital health excellence.

Technological access to healthcare is increasingly recognized as a vital pillar for providing safe and scalable care, particularly in developing countries like India. Beyond infrastructural challenges, patient information asymmetry is a significant barrier to quality healthcare. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the crucial role digital health plays in healthcare delivery, underscoring the need for robust digital health standards.

By aligning with NABH digital health standards, hospitals can upscale their health infrastructure, reduce errors, enhance patient care, and ensure efficient operations. MedLern’s training modules are designed to support hospitals in this transformative journey, making quality healthcare accessible and efficient.

KD Hospital’s achievement is a testament to the impact of digital health excellence and sets a precedent for other healthcare institutions in India. MedLern remains committed to supporting hospitals in their journey towards digital health excellence, ultimately contributing to a stronger, more resilient healthcare system in the country.
