Explanation:

With an objective to shift the focus of measuring the performance of hospitals from the volume of services provided to the value of healthcare services, National Health Authority (NHA) is introducing a new system to measure and grade hospital performance under the flagship scheme Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY). • The new initiative will introduce the concept of ‘value-based care’, where payment will be outcomebased and providers will be rewarded according to quality of treatment delivered. • AB PMJAY is a centrally sponsored health assurance scheme. It provides a cover of up to Rs. 5 lakhs per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization. This is the “world’s largest government-funded healthcare program” targeting more than 50 crore beneficiaries. Hence, statement 1 is correct. • It provides cashless and paperless access to services for beneficiaries at point of service. Beneficiary families have been identified from Socio-Economic Caste Census, 2011. Hence, statement 2 is correct. • National Health Authority (NHA) is the apex body responsible for implementing India’s flagship public health insurance/assurance scheme called “Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana” & has been entrusted with the role of designing strategy, building technological infrastructure, and implementing of “National Digital Health Mission” to create a National Digital Health Ecosystem. Hence, statement 3 is correct. • National Health Authority is the successor of the National Health Agency, which was functioning as a registered society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 since 23rd May 2018. Pursuant to Cabinet decision for full functional autonomy, National Health Agency was reconstituted as the National Health Authority.
