Course Focus & Prerequisite Knowledge 

Comments

Government officials 

  • Policy makers/decision-makers

  • District-level officials with strategic but also implementing responsibilities

  • Basic health insurance/health financing knowledge

  • Focus on openIMIS and why it is beneficial for a country 

  • Higher level officials very unlikely to undertake an e-learning course.

  • For the lower-level "implementing" officials it is important to note that the e-learning will not replace the trainings involved with an implementation project. 

Academia 

  • Master of Public Health - specialisation: health informatics/health financing

  • Medical schools/nursing schools 

  • Prerequisite knowledge will depend on what type of students we want to target

  • Focus on showing a "use case" of health insurance tech. 

  • Issue with targeting academia is that the intention is not that students will go to implementer and promote the technology for implementation

  • Is there another profile within academia (not student level) that has this middle-man role (PhD students with links to the government). 

  • Specific faculties would need to be identified and openIMIS e-learning course should be specifically promoted to these; contents of the course should work as an augmentation to their curriculum

Software developers 

  • Tech SMEs that can support openIMIS

  • Small insurance companies 

  • ICT background

  • Focus on health insurance processes and technical side of openIMIS 

  • Probably do not want to create a e-learning course on technical side of openIMIS.
