Healthcare door. DPDP + NABH + BMW + PCPNDT.

DPDP for hospitals. NABH-ready. BMW-tracked. One platform.

Every hospital in India runs under six regulators at once: DPDP Act 2023 for patient data, NABH accreditation, Bio-Medical Waste Rules 2016, PCPNDT, AERB for imaging, and Drug & Cosmetics licensing. dcomply ships modules for each layer, from consent capture at reception to BMW bag counts to the pre-assessment file for your next NABH cycle. Nothing to install. Nothing to integrate with your HIS. Every register, deadline and audit checklist in one workspace.

Sound familiar?

If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

These are the exact sentences we hear from hospital compliance heads on the first call. If two or three of them are true for you, dcomply is the workspace you have been trying to build in a spreadsheet.

Your NABH cycle is nine months away and your BMW records are still in a paper register.

A patient asked for their data under DPDP last week and you don't have a workflow.

Your PCPNDT audit is annual and your form-F filing is manual.

Your drug licence renewal date is a reminder on someone's phone.

Your consultant sends a PDF report every quarter and you can't tell if you're actually compliant.

For patient-data specifics, see the DPDP door. If you run a hospital finance arm, the Fintech door covers RBI and CERT-In.

Your regulator stack

Every Indian hospital lives under all of these.

DPDP is the foundation because every patient interaction generates personal data. NABH sits on top for accreditation. PCPNDT and Bio-Medical Waste Rules add clinical and operational obligations. Drug & Cosmetics licence and AERB apply based on your speciality. POSH and Labour codes catch every hospital because of the size of the workforce. dcomply ships modules for each layer.

POSH + Labour codes
Mandatory for any hospital with a workforce over 10. IC constitution, complaint intake, annual return, PF/ESIC challans, gratuity records.
Drug & Cosmetics Act + AERB
Pharmacy licence, controlled-drug register, radiation safety for imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI), staff radiation dose records.
PCPNDT + Bio-Medical Waste Rules 2016

NABH accreditation

Why Healthcare Compliance is a Spreadsheet Nightmare

One Hospital, Eleven Regulators, Endless Audits

From the medical superintendent to the BMW vendor, everyone keeps their own logbook. dcomply collapses them into one.

DPDP Special Handling

Patient data is sensitive personal data. Different retention, different consent, different breach severity.

BMW Manifest Trail

Daily generation, daily disposal, monthly Form III filing. Miss a day and your CPCB renewal is at risk.

PCPNDT Register

Forms F, B, B/F, every machine, every ultrasound, every quarterly return. Manual audit-prone work.

NABH Re-Accreditation

Hundreds of standards across patient care, infection control, governance. The 2-year review is brutal without a system.

Healthcare compliance FAQs

Questions hospital compliance officers actually ask.

Everything you need to know about running DPDP, NABH, BMW, PCPNDT, POSH and Labour compliance in a hospital.

Indian healthcare faces DPDP Act 2023, Clinical Establishments Act, ABDM/ABHA norms for digital health, Biomedical Waste Management Rules 2016, NABH accreditation standards where sought, IT Act SPDI Rules for sensitive data, and CERT-In 6-hour breach reporting. Diagnostic labs additionally deal with PC-PNDT and blood-bank licensing.

DPDP does not use a formal sensitive data category (unlike GDPR), but the DPDP Rules 2025 draft treat health data as warranting stronger safeguards, including mandatory DPIA before high-volume processing, restricted secondary use, and stricter cross-border rules. dcomply's DPIA module auto-triggers when health data is added to a processing record.

dcomply provides consent artefact templates for ABDM's consent-manager standard, supports the HL7 FHIR data pattern in processing records, and produces required audit logs for ABDM audits. HFR and HPR facility linkage is captured in the tenant profile.

BMW Rules 2016 require category-wise segregation, monthly consumption plus disposal register, annual report to State PCB by 30 June, disposal via CBWTF with proof, and training records for all handlers. dcomply's Healthcare Biowaste module automates all of this.

CERT-In's 2022 direction requires reporting of network intrusions, ransomware, data breaches and unauthorised access within 6 hours of noticing. Hospitals are a frequent target of ransomware. dcomply pre-fills the CERT-In incident format and preserves logs for 180 days as required.

Yes. DPDP Rule 11 requires verifiable consent from a parent or lawful guardian for anyone under 18. For healthcare this includes appointment booking, prescription history and lab reports for minors. dcomply's children-data module implements the verifiable-consent workflow with age verification.

dcomply runs as a parallel compliance workspace and does not require HIS integration. Patient data stays in your HIS. Compliance evidence, workflows, and audit trails live in dcomply. Integrations for major HIS platforms are on the roadmap.

No. The platform is used by clinics, nursing homes, diagnostic centres, and multi-speciality hospitals. Pricing scales with the modules you actually turn on.

It maps every NABH standard to evidence you upload, flags gaps against the current cycle, and generates the pre-assessment file. Assessors have accepted the exported file directly.

The consultant handles the domain. dcomply handles the record-keeping, monthly CPCB returns, and the audit trail that survives inspection. Most hospitals keep both.

Included. Every dcomply tenant gets POSH and Labour modules. Hospitals hit both because of the size of the workforce.
Real hospitals, real compliance programmes

"Patients actually use it."

"We used to prepare for NABH with a two-week fire drill. Now the file is ready any day of the year. The DPDP portal was the surprise. Patients actually use it."
Head of Quality, a 300-bed multi-speciality hospital in Delhi NCR.
