OpenIMIS Project
OpenIMIS is an open-source Insurance Management Information System built to improve health financing schemes’ effectiveness in LMIC
Project Description
The system is designed to produce operational reports to track all activities and the performance of insurance schemes, according to specified criteria. It is used by health insurance funds and ministries of health to manage patient registry, benefit packages, contracted providers, service claims and reimbursement, client feedback, monitoring and reporting, etc.
OpenIMIS is a fully functional, licensed open-source application, compatible with other technologies catering to Universal Health Coverage, such as the national HMIS (DHIS 2) in Tanzania.
Our role and the team
We are working closely with SwissTPH and GiZ in developing and maintaining the system in several countries. Currently we are also responsible for integration of OpenIMIS with CoreMIS.
