Description of Session
openIMIS is an open-source software tool for the digitalisation and efficient management of health financing workflows. Currently being used to manage a variety of health protection schemes in Nepal, Tanzania, Cameroon, Chad, and DRC, openIMIS offers seamless connections between beneficiaries, health service providers, and payers. The software is designed for a variety of business processes ranging from enrolling beneficiaries at the community level to generating electronic claims at health facilities to the automated and human-led adjudication of claims at the offices of the payer institution. This appy hour session will be designed to showcase to the user how easy it is to use openIMIS for the various processes in a health protection scheme. For the developer audience, there will be material available to inform them about the openIMIS technical roadmap and to encourage them to join the community of practice. Through a local instance of openIMIS, we will demonstrate how Android apps can be used to enroll beneficiaries and provide ID cards in the communities. Additionally, the workflows around claim entry and processing will also be demonstrated through a live demonstration of the openIMIS system.
