Application of openIMIS in Medical Universities in the Philippines
openIMIS Country Hub in the Philippines consists of partners from the (1) University of the Philippines Manila (UPM), (2) St Luke’s Medical Center (SLMC), 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 the Philippines, openIMIS will be used as a tool to learn about health insurance at the clinical skills lab. In August and 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.
