Abstract Background: The Integrated Health Information Platform (IHIP), a digital tool under the Integrated Disease Surveillance Program (IDSP), was introduced in Odisha in 2021. Objectives: We described the epidemiological profile of patients registered in the IHIP-P Form in Odisha’s Jagatsinghpur (JP) and Ganjam (GM) districts from April 2021 to October 2022. Materials and Methods: We conducted the secondary data analysis of P-form data. We calculated cases per one lakh population (Notification Rate NR) by gender, age, block, and disease. Results: IHIP registered 255,071 (NR: 6618) and 63,895 (NR: 5146) patients in GM and JP. Males (NR: 6824) and adults >60 years (NR: 9347) had higher NRs. NR was variable across the blocks. Acute respiratory illness had the maximum NR in both districts (JP: 1746, GM: 2026). Conclusion: We recommended regular follow-up analysis to identify the pattern changes and explore the factors contributing to the low NR in certain blocks.
