openIMIS supports beneficiary and claims management of a variety of different protection schemes (or instruments) in health and beyond. The nature of a scheme defines which functionalities and data structures in openIMIS are needed. As a prerequisite for building these in an efficient way, a well structured classification of protection schemes is needed.

Examples of protection schemes

ILO social security instruments

from https://www.ilo.org/global/standards/subjects-covered-by-international-labour-standards/social-security/lang--en/index.htm :

• Medical care

• Sickness benefit

• Unemployment benefit

• Old-age benefit

• Employment injury benefit

• Family benefit

• Maternity benefit

• Invalidity benefit

• Survivors' benefit
