The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 marks a significant shift in India's data protection landscape, particularly for healthcare providers who handle sensitive patient information. By understanding and implementing the provisions of the DPDP Act, doctors can not only stay compliant but also foster greater trust with their patients. Embracing this law is not just about avoiding penalties—it’s about contributing to a more secure, transparent, and patient focussed healthcare system.

Coded data is one of the most important aspects in healthcare, as it ensures uniformity, accuracy, and speed in documenting patient interactions. For doctors, ICD codes are the foundation for documenting patient encounters. By staying updated on the latest technological developments and leveraging ICD integrated electronic medical record (EMR) systems, doctors can harness the power of coded data to unlock valuable insights.

SNOMED CT, or the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine - Clinical Terms, is a universal coding system used in healthcare. By embracing meaningful EHRs powered by SNOMED CT, healthcare providers can position themselves at the forefront of innovation and improve patient outcomes.
