In an implementation of openIMIS used to manage health financing mechanisms (such as insurance systems) a wealth of data on individuals, their families, their treatment, their health care costs, diagnosis patterns, medication prescribing behavior, cost of service provision, etc is captured. This puts openIMIS unique position in the landscape of IT solutions dedicated to supporting various functions within a health care system.
Currently, openIMIS provides two ways to analyze this wealth of data - through standard Reports and through DHIS2-based dashboards. As every implementation is unique in terms of data collected and the analysis needs, both methods require initial configuration/customization to ensure that the indicators available in the reports and dashboards are of significance to the specific implementation. The default indicators, reports, and dashboards in openIMIS are presented and discussed below.
With openIMIS we would like to explore the use of such data from various perspectives to explore ways in which this data could contribute to strengthening health care systems. We encourage you to contribute to this discussion by providing us your ideas and inputs. You can do so by adding to the table below. You can also share (by uploading on this page below the table) relevant documentation on this topic like publications, consultation summaries, etc. and adding a summary of your documentation to the table in form of a use case in the table below, derived from the shared document.
