OpenIMIS
What is it?

OpenIMIS is a computer program that facilitates the administration of health financing and social protection schemes. Available as a web, mobile and API application, it allows efficient management of records, resources and services, becoming a comprehensive solution for health and social protection systems. This software is designed to manage the complex data flows of health financing and social protection systems, integrating beneficiary, provider and payer data into a single platform. Currently, it benefits more than 10 million people in 7 countries, managing health insurance, work accidents, cash transfers and voucher systems. Its mission is to facilitate the management of health financing and social protection schemes, contributing to Universal Health Coverage and Universal Social Protection.

What problems does it solve?

OpenIMIS solves the complexity in the administration of health financing and social protection regimes, integrating data from beneficiaries, providers and payers. It facilitates the management of insurance and transfers, supporting Universal Health Coverage and Universal Social Protection.

How does the tool work?

Beneficiary management: openIMIS supports the enrollment of individuals and families, as well as employers and employees, into schemes. Enrollment information can be captured directly in openIMIS, or imported from existing beneficiary management systems. Service delivery: openIMIS supports the verification of scheme membership. When beneficiaries present their ID cards at health facilities, healthcare workers can check their eligibility for services via openIMIS. Claims management: openIMIS supports the submission and review of claims. Health facilities which use openIMIS can electronically submit claims to insurance scheme operators for review. Payments: openIMIS supports the management of payments to service providers and to beneficiaries of cash transfer schemes. The payer or scheme operator can use openIMIS to define the criteria for cash transfers and to generate payroll with the amounts to be disbursed to beneficiaries in a given payment cycle. Monitoring: openIMIS allows scheme operators to monitor and analyze the performance of the scheme through the generation of reports and data visualization, e.g. dashboards.
