2026-01-26 Bhela: Streamlining Healthcare Delivery and Insurance Claims

How can countries move from patient care to payment seamlessly without paperwork, delays, or administrative bottlenecks?

In the January Bhela call, Maxime Ngoe (Y-Note) and Sunil Parajuli (Tinker Tech) will explore an interoperability solution that connects hospital information systems with health insurance management, automatically transforming clinical encounters into insurance claims. The specific scenario looked at in this call is the interoperability process between Bahmni and openIMIS.
.

Learn about (how):
• End-to-end interoperability enables faster reimbursements
• Administrative burden is reduced so healthcare workers can focus on patient care
• Real-time visibility for insurers improves budgeting and fraud detection
• Immediate coverage confirmation for patients
• Alignment with international standards such as openHIE & DCI
• Adaptability to local policies, service packages, and country contexts
