When the service is complete, the information will go into the NHSO’s central system, which will be beneficial in two parts: 1. No citizen will go in to receive more service than is necessary. Because it is watched all the time. 2. When it is proved that people have come to receive services as agreed upon, the NHSO will pay. The service unit can receive the service fee within no more than 3 days.

That was on the morning of January 7, 2024, when the system for inserting ID cards As soon as you insert the card The information will flow into the central area. The information will then be sent back to the Provincial Public Health Office, the Public Health Office, and the District NHSO to consider preventing drug shopping or Shopping Around, as some may have concerns that the national ID card policy protects everywhere. It will allow people to use the service all over the place. This system is designed to prevent and resolve those concerns,” Dr. Jadet said.

As for payments to service units within 3 days, it also covers government hospitals. But the hospital will have to link data with NHSO, which emphasizes that it is a data link. Not sending data Because the process in the past was that the hospital had to gather information first and then send it for reimbursement to the NHSO. The payment process would start after the hospital sent the information.
“So the key is to connect data. Not sending information If you send data it will be slow. But if it is a data link, NHSO will be able to pull out the disbursed data and process it for immediate disbursement. especially private sector service units If the data is synced with NHSO and there is a system for inserting ID cards. If we provide the service, we will be ready to pay within 3 days. For an overview of the first day of service. There are service units in 4 provinces participating in providing services, a total of 1,130 places, and 1,751 people have received services, divided into Phrae Province, 1,545 people, Phetchaburi 1,108 people, Roi Et 1,888 people, and Narathiwat 1,091 people, for a total of 6,292 people,” Dr. Jadet said.

Therefore, the other 3 New Normal Public Health Service Units can provide services first. You can then withdraw money retrospectively with NHSO.

As for the 4 pilot provinces that have already been implemented, the NHSO will closely evaluate the implementation results. Starting from the first day of service Through a dashboard system that will show the number of people receiving services. The amount of work that occurs As well as obstacles encountered in the system, such as whether the internet system is broken or not, etc., it is believed that the citizens will receive more convenience. and service units will receive money faster,” said Dr. Jadet.
Dr. Jadet said that in 2024, NHSO is also preparing to expand pharmacies to provide care for minor illnesses for 16 symptom groups by increasing the number of pharmacies participating in the project.

Because at present the information is all connected. Or if it exceeds capacity, there will be a referral system to a large hospital. They will know basic treatment information,” Dr. Jadet said.
