Integration and interoperability
The system is currently being integrated with other government systems including:
· SMS gateway solution to allow enrollment, renewals and payment confirmations to clients.
· GEPG (Government e-Payment Gateway) solution.
· USSD gateway for mobile requests (enquiring, renewal, request control numbers for mobile or bank payments).
Discussions are ongoing for integration of IMIS with the government's GoTHOMIS (Government of Tanzania Hospital Management Information System) system to link health facility claims coming directly to IMIS, as well as the CHF accounting system. In the next phase of the project, integration with other systems will be undertaken based on government-identified priorities.
