Advancing the 2030 Agenda through openIMIS
The openIMIS initiative works to include excluded populations into social (health) protection schemes by improving the schemes’ data and information management capacities through openIMIS.
openIMIS is the first open-source software for the linking of the beneficiary, provider and payer data.
It benefits the management of the social health protection system by optimizing process flows, promoting transparency, enhancing financial management, and providing a means for beneficiary identification and tracking.
openIMIS Community of Practice in Asia
As part of this initiative, AeHIN is leading the formation of an openIMIS Community of Practice (CoP) in Asia.
This community engages with ministries, health education institutions, medical student associations, interoperability labs, and related groups to explore possible use cases for openIMIS implementation in Asia, particularly in the academic setting.
To support the application of ICT solutions for social health protection, the openIMIS CoP in Asia works on contextualizing capacity-building strategies and supplementary knowledge materials with the specific needs of countries.
These insights are also expected to refine knowledge products on ICT solutions for social (health) protection at the global level.

openIMIS Country Hub in the Philippines consists of partners from the (1) University of the Philippines Manila (UPM), (2) St Luke’s College of Medicine, and (3) Asian Medical Students Association Philippines.
The need for openIMIS in the university sprung various needs such as lack of practical know-how of students on health financing, limited learning tools and real-life scenarios to demonstrate the operational side of social health protection (enrolment, claims submission, reports, etc), and missing link between clinical procedures in medical schools and information systems, particularly on health financing.
In September, the openIMIS Country Hub Philippines will conduct a training of trainers (ToT) workshop on openIMIS’ application at the clinical skills lab. The event will be a venue for evaluating the openIMIS clinical skills students’ lab manual and its corresponding faculty guide, as well as the usability of the openIMIS at the academic setting.
Below is the tentative program:

AeHIN completes openIMIS ToT Workshop at SLCM
AeHIN has successfully conducted the second leg of its openIMIS ToT Workshop held at St. Luke's College of Medicine (SLCM) last November 9.
A total of seven participants composed of students and faculty from SLCM participated in the workshop.
As suggested in the first openIMIS ToT Workshop held in UP Manila last September, AeHIN included an overview on health insurance with the help of Dr. Dante Salvador.
After the half-day workshop, the following feedback were gathered:
- Inclusion of data privacy module in the manual
- Next steps: Implementation of openIMIS in SLCM's partner community in Old Balara focused on the following:
- Recording of patient data (rather than insurance)
- Reports on generation
- Use of openIMIS mobile app
- Request for funding of laptop and mobile device in Old Balara
- Request to change location variables in the system into names of streets in Old Balara
