Digital Health Standards for RIS and PACS Launched at NABH Patient Safety Conference 2026
September 2026 -New standards for Radiology Information Systems (RIS) and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) were launched by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH) at the NABH Patient Safety Conference 2026 in New Delhi on 17 September 2026.
Developed in collaboration with the National Cancer Grid – Koita Centre for Digital Oncology (NCG-KCDO), the standards provide a structured framework for hospitals and healthcare institutions to define their RIS-PACS requirements and evaluate solutions across areas including functional capabilities, technical requirements, interoperability, scalability, security and operational workflows. By establishing a common framework, the standards can support more consistent adoption of digital radiology systems across healthcare settings.
The standards also include oncology-specific requirements, addressing the specialised imaging and information needs of cancer care and supporting the digital transformation of NCG-empanelled centres.
The development of the standards brought together clinical and radiology experts, members of the NCG RIS-PACS Sub-Committee, NABH representatives and industry stakeholders, incorporating clinical, technology, operational and accreditation perspectives.
The standards were launched in the presence of Shri Prataprao Ganpatrao Jadhav, Hon’ble Minister of State (Independent Charge), Ministry of Ayush; Shri Piyush Goyal, Hon’ble Minister of Commerce and Industry; and Mr. Rizwan Koita, Chairman, NABH, among other healthcare leaders.
The launch is an important step towards strengthening standardisation and interoperability in digital radiology, while helping healthcare institutions adopt secure, scalable and connected radiology systems.
Koita Foundation supported this collaborative initiative as part of its commitment to advancing digital health standards and enabling the responsible adoption of technology across healthcare.
ISB Releases Report on Value of NABH Digital Health Standards Certification
August 2026 -The Max Institute of Healthcare Management (MIHM) at the Indian School of Business (ISB) launched a new report, Post-Adoption Value of NABH Digital Health Standards: A Multi-Hospital Assessment in India, at ISB's Hyderabad campus. Ajay Seth, Chairperson, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), released the report in the presence of Kannan Chakravarthy, Secretary General, Quality Council of India and CEO (I/C), NABH; Rizwan Koita, Chairperson, NABH; Professor Sarang Deo, Executive Director, MIHM, ISB; and Professor Sandeep Rath, Assistant Professor of Operations Management, ISB.
The independent study assessed 20 NABH Digital Health Standards (DHS)-certified hospitals across India, drawing on interviews and a survey of 80 hospital leaders.
Key findings of the study:
- Overall increase in Digital maturity: From 3.42 to 4.35/5.00
- Overall value of NABH DHS to hospitals: 4.62/5.00
- Data privacy and documentation quality: 4.56/5.00
- Operational efficiency: 4.38/5.00
- Interoperability: 4.29/5.00
Hospitals cited improving patient-care quality and operational efficiency as the leading reasons for adopting DHS. The report documented benefits including improved medication safety, better documentation and traceability, faster workflows, stronger governance, and reduced revenue leakage. It also found that staff training, workflow redesign and hospital leadership were key to converting DHS adoption into measurable gains, and pointed to automation, AI-enabled capabilities and deeper integration with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) as next steps for certified hospitals.

Koita Foundation Signs MoU with TANUH, IISc's AI Centre of Excellence on AI-Driven Healthcare Solutions
August 2026 -We are delighted to share that Koita Foundation has signed an MoU with TANUH (Translational AI for Networked Universal Healthcare), an AI Centre of Excellence under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, New Delhi, hosted at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). The partnership will focus on research, development, deployment, and testing of AI-driven solutions.
As part of the collaboration, Koita Foundation, together with the Gates Foundation, will support TANUH in developing evaluation framework for Voice-to-Discrete Data (V2DD) solutions (voice scribing solutions) in India. Most existing voice scribing solutions has been designed around English-speaking settings and hasn't accounted for how healthcare conversations actually happen in India, which is usually multilingual with regional variations. Just as important, there's no standardised way today to measure how these systems perform once you bring them into an Indian setting.
The initiative will focus on building benchmark datasets, clinically relevant evaluation metrics and a testing platform to help assess V2DD solutions across various Indian languages and care settings. We look forward to advancing this work with our partners!
