This is apart from the existing CHBMS (COVID+ Hospital Bed Management System) in Bengaluru. At present, the districts have set up their own systems for managing the bed allotment and also disbursement of the COVID-19 drugs. Now all these platforms or control rooms, particularly related to bed allotment, would be synchronised by using single software. However, the allotment will be done by the respective district administrations, where the patient is registered,” Secretary to DPAR (e-governance) V. Ponnuraj who is also the Nodal Officer for State COVID-19 War Room, told The Hindu. During a recent a meeting in Hubballi, Health and Medical Education Minister K. Sudhakar had emphasised the need for having a real time dashboard on bed allotment to make the system more transparent.
