The hospital in last year became the first government-run hospital in the state to order drugs online and commence biometric attendance of its employees.
The website www.jphospital.org was launched by Bhopal commissioner Praveen Garg. Health commissioner JN Kansotiya and chief medical and health officer (CMHO) Dr Pankaj Shukla were also present on the occasion.
JP hospital superintendent Dr Veena Sinha said, "The idea is to provide information of patients and availability of beds at a given time. This transparency would serve patients and administration as well."
CMHO Dr Shukla said, "At any given point information about medical practitioners, bed occupancy, and medicine availability could be accessed by the public."
"It would help a patient reach concerned doctor in a hospital and know about various government schemes," he added.
Commissioner Garg and senior health officials later visited the hospital and suggested to update information on OPD patients in the website.
Currently, the website in Hindi, but would have an English interface in coming months, said hospital authorities.
