How the scheme uses openIMIS
In Between June 2021 and February 2022, Bluesquare started a project to implement implemented openIMIS in Niger with funding from the Belgian Development Agency Enabel. The project aims aimed to set up openIMIS for a health insurance scheme in two districts , – Gaya and Gothèye – on a pilot basis. A first version of openIMIS was deployed under the a hybrid legacy/modular architecture and most of the information necessary for adapting it to the Nigerien context has been uploaded (products, list of health facilities/regions/districts/villages, medical items/services, prices, etc.).
Bluesquare and Enabel are working together to develop Standard Operating Procedures detailing the processes to be put in place in the country context. Next step is to clarify the enrollment procedures and processes and necessary training sessions accordinglyIn November 2021, a training of trainers course was carried out in Niamey. As part of the project, Bluesquare also led an analysis of openIMIS-DHIS2 and openIMIS-openMRS integrations.
Interoperability
Following the testing phase of openIMIS, the intention is to extend the use of openIMIS to two more districts and to link it to DHIS2 and openMRS in order to reduce workload for staff at health facilities.
