openIMIS

What is this? This is an open source (AGPL License), cost effective, interoperable information system for managing health insurance scheme. The main objective of the project is achieving UHC for all in order to achieve SDG.

Why?
Insurance processes are complicated to manage. Claims are only paid when providing transparent and evidence-based billing. Patient level data available.
Opportunity to have up-to-date client registry


Funded by SDC (Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation)
Full copyright
Willing to offer other countries/schemes free of cost (including source code)
Condition: modifications to software should be shared with other countries/implementers.

Implementing Interoperability of Antimicrobial Resistance System

Topic: Implementing Interoperability of Antimicrobial Resistance System This topic was discussed in the open spaces and the topic’s owner was Mauro Tubin. It was quite an interactive session.   The importance of Implementing an Interoperable Antimicrobial Resistance system was discussed, how they were getting about with it and the challenges they face. Accurate estimates of the burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are needed to establish the magnitude of this global threat in terms of both health and cost, and to paramaterise cost-effectiveness evaluations of interventions aiming to tackle the problem. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the ability of a microorganism to stop an antimicrobial from working against it. As a result, standard treatments become ineffective, infections persist and may spread to others. There should be a surveillance to get the specific data. The data needs to be mobilized regarding patients (testing and diagnostics), animals and fo...

Blockchains What is a blockchain?  ▪A growing list of records, called  blocks , which are linked sing cryptography ▪Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous lock, timestamp, and transaction data ▪Invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 to serve as the public transaction ledger of the cryptocurrency bitcoin ▪Three main components: a distributed network, a shared ledger and digital transactions  Characteristics of a blockchain ▪       An open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way ▪       Is resistant to modification of the data ▪       Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without alteration of all subsequent blocks Uses of blockchain ▪       Cryp...

10 COMMON APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE According to a 2016 report from CB Insights, about 86% of healthcare provider organizations, life science companies, and technology vendors to healthcare are using artificial intelligence technology. By 2020, these organizations will spend an average of $54 million on artificial intelligence projects.  So what solutions are they most commonly implementing? Here are 10 common ways AI is changing healthcare now and will in the future. 1. Managing Medical Records and Other Data            Since the first step in health care is compiling and analyzing information (like medical records and other past history), data management is the most widely used application of artificial intelligence and digital automation. Robots collect, store, re-format, and trace data to provide faster, more consistent access. 2. Doing Repetitive Jobs          ...
