In some context internet access is either not reliable or not available therefore “offline mode“ is often require for enrollment or claiming.
So far the scheme management, claim review and health financing should be done on the master server for a given area. In most of the case it it better to define the central server as master server to be able to manage cross area (Claim from area 2 HF for an insuree from area 1 )
In Legacy there were 3 offline entry points:
Android claim app:
features: work by downloading METADATA (Locations, Claim admins, HF, Product, items / services … ), can inquire insuree coverage, then claim can be added with items and services
Status: Maintained but might need a refactoring
Migration Status: Not compatible with Modular, needs the C# API
Android policy app:
features: work by downloading METADATA (Locations, Officers, HF, Product, ), can inquire insuree coverage, then insuree can be registered (assigned an insurance number) and enrolled into a policy)
Status: Maintained but might need a refactoring
Migration Status: Not compatible with Modular, needs the C# API
WebApp offline mode
features: almost as the legacy app for enrolment and claiming; scheme management, claim review and health financing could be done ONLY if all the HF for a given location are managed by the server, it has limitation when it comes to claims from insuree coming from another area: those actions are better done on the main central server
Status: not maintained
Migration Status: Not migrated
An ideal solution
Must:
Allow to enter claim:
Must
Create claim capability based on authority
HF based on user
Items and services based on HF price lists
Allow to register new insuree
must
location based on user
Create insuree capability based on authority
Allow to enrol insuree in a policy
must
location based on user
Create policy capability based on authority
Create contribution capability based on authority
Create payment capability based on authority
should
Price calculation based on rules from server
work on smartphone (Android)
be able to sync via internet
Should
work on computers (laptop/desktop)
be able to sync via secured file exchange
Use FHIR data structure for local storage and transfers
Can
work on smartphone (OS?/Windows?) and computers (laptop/desktop/chromebook?)
