Benchmarking Solutions

The benchmarking section provides a comparative analysis of key building blocks that are essential for scaling openIMIS and ensuring its interoperability with other health and social protection systems. Each subpage explores a specific component of the digital health ecosystem, highlighting strengths, limitations, and suitability for integration in different country contexts.

The goal of this benchmarking exercise is to:

• Assess the maturity and performance of various open-source and proprietary solutions.

• Provide evidence-based guidance for implementers and decision-makers.

• Support alignment with international standards such as FHIR and the Digital Convergence Initiative (DCI).

• Facilitate informed choices when designing interoperable health and social protection architectures.

The following subpages detail the benchmarking results for critical domains:

• Middleware – interoperability layers and mediators.

• Foundational Identity Platforms – unique identity and authentication solutions.

• EMR/EHR – clinical data management systems.

• Master Facility List (MFL) – facility registry solutions for consistent referencing.

Together, these comparisons provide a reference framework for selecting, integrating, and scaling digital health solutions alongside openIMIS.
