In the first case the person's details are automatically picked up from the Aadhar database. In the second case she is prompted to enter the required details. After this the person chooses the hospital, the department in which appointment is required, and the date of the proposed visit. She will then receive a confirmation SMS. For accessing laboratory reports, patient needs to select PGIMER and enter the CR number on the ORS website. An OTP will be sent on the registered mobile which can be used to view the laboratory reports. Similar procedure is followed for viewing on the lab reports on PGI’s website.OPD registration and laboratory reports continue to be available to the patients through the PGIMER's website also.
