IMIS Extracts¶

Access to the openIMIS Extracts page is restricted to users with the system role of Scheme Administrator (IMIS Central online) or HF Administrator (IMIS offline installations) or with a role including an access to Tools/Extracts. This page will contain all functionality for data synchronization between IMIS Central and IMIS offline installations as well as the generation of extract files for the mobile phones (Android). Depending on the type of installation, the interface will enable and disable certain functions.

Pre-conditions¶

The extract functionality is covering extracts for the mobile phone applications and the openIMIS ‘offline’ installations. Offline extracts are only to be generated in case a district has so called ‘off-line’ installations in areas where no Internet connectivity is available.

Extracts are to be downloaded to the local PC that is initiating the creation of the extract.

Standard procedures should be formulated to stipulate the time interval between Extract creations and the management of transporting and installing/transferring these extracts into the target environment: mobile phones or offline openIMIS clients.

IMIS Extracts (online mode)¶

openIMIS Extracts

The Extracts Page is divided into eight sections (Image 6.23).

A - Download Master Data section

The Master Data section is used for generation of the data needed for off-line operation of IMIS (Policies) application run on Android platforms. The following data files can be downloaded:

Master data for running IMIS (Policies) application (Download Master Data)

Prompts for renewal of policies (Download Renewals)

Prompts for acquiring of feedbacks (Download Feedbacks)

Enrolment Officers Code: Enter the code of an enrolment officer for whom the master data and prompts should be generated.

B - Create Phone Extract section

The Phone extract panel is used for the generation of so called SQLite database files for the mobile phone applications. Each district will have its own phone extract file that needs to be distributed to the mobile phones within the district. To generate a phone extract file, the operator has to select a region and a district from the list of available districts. In case the user is having access to its own district only, the district will be automatically selected and shown on the display.

By clicking the Create button in panel the section, a phone extract will be created. This process might take a while. As long as the hour glass (as a cursor) is shown, openIMIS is still processing the file. The file size depends on the amount of photographs included in the extract. The file size could range into hundreds of MBs. To alleviate this problem two options are available:

With Insurees

Checking this box means that a complete phone extract (including photos) will be generated. Leaving it unchecked a shortened phone extract without photos will be generated.

In background

Checking this box means that the phone extract will be created in background and the user will be notified by e-mail (provided his/her e-mail is entered in the register of users).

In case the extract is created in the background, the following dialog box appears:

Image 179

If the extract is not created in background the user is notified about successful creation by the following message as shown below.

Image 180

The extract will be downloaded to your local computer by clicking the Download link that will appear after the creation of the extract, as shown below.

Image 181

The extract file is called IMISDATA.DB3 and needs first to be copied (downloaded) to the local machine. After clicking the Download button, the operator is able to select the destination folder (locally) for the file to download as shown below.

Image 182

The extract is now ready to be transferred/copied to the mobile phones. This process is performed manually by connecting the mobile phone to the computer with the provided USB cable. The user needs to copy, manually, the file from the local machine into the ‘IMIS’ Folder on the mobile phone.

C - Offline Extract section

The offline extract section is used to generate the openIMIS ‘offline’ extract files for the health facilities or offices of the scheme administration that run openIMIS offline. To generate an offline extract file, the operator has to select a region and a district from the list of available districts. In case the user is having access to its own district only, the district will be automatically selected and shown on the display. When an operator belongs to one specific district, the district box is already selected with the district of the user. To create a new extract, the operator needs to click the Create button.

Three types of extracts could be generated:

Differential Extract (Download D)

Differential extracts will only contain the differences in data compared with the previous extract. The first differential extract (sequence 000001) will contain all data as it will be the first extract. Thereafter, this type of the extract, will only contain any differences after the previous extract. This will result in smaller files sent to the health facilities in off-line mode. When we click the create button, the differential extract is always generated and will be assigned the next sequence number. A separate Photo extract will be created containing only photographs linked to changes compared with the previous extract. Differential extracts with insure and policy data are only generated in case the With Insuree checkbox is checked as shown below.

Image 183

Full extract (Download F)

The Full extract will always contain all information in the database. These extracts are only generated in case the Full extract and the With Insuree checkbox are checked as shown below.

Image 184

By clicking the Create button, in case of Full extract is checked, two extracts will be generated, one differential extract and one full extract. Both extracts will have the same sequence number. This implies that full extracts are not always needed/generated. A separate photo extract will be created containing all photographs.

Empty Extract (Download E)

Empty extracts will only contain the data from registers and no data on insurees and their policies/photos. If a full set of register data should be included in the extract, the checkbox Full extract has to be checked as shown below.

Image 185

After clicking the Create button, the system will create the extract file and will on completion display the following message:

Image 186

The message is only shown to provide some details on how much information is exported to the extract file.

Depending on the Full extract option, we will be re-directed to the extract page and will see the newly generated extract sequence in the list or will get a new message as shown below:

Image 187

After clicking OK the statistics of the full extract will be shown:

Image 188

We are now ready to download the extract to our computer.

The combo box next to the district selector contains information on all generated extracts with the sequence number and date. (e.g. Sequence 000007 – Date 06-09-2012). If the extract selector does not show any entries (blank) it means that no previous extracts were created. At least one full extract needs to be generated. This is needed to initialise a new offline openIMIS installation.

To download the actual extracts, the operator needs to select the desired extract sequence from the list of available extracts.

Four different types of extracts could be downloaded by clicking one of the following buttons:

Download D (Differential extract)

Will download the selected differential extract with the following filename

Filename: OE_D_<DistrictID>_<Sequence>.RAR (e.g. OE_D_1_8.RAR)

Download F (Full extract)

Will download the latest full extract with the following filename

Filename: OE_F_<DistrictID>_<Sequence>.RAR (e.g. OE_F_1_8.RAR)

Download E (Empty extract)

Will download the latest full extract with the following filename

Filename: OE_E_<DistrictID>_<Sequence>.RAR (e.g. OE_F_1_8.RAR)

Download Photos D (Differential Photo extract)

Will download the selected differential photo extract with filename:

Filename: OE_D_<DistrictID>_<Sequence>.RAR (e.g. OE_D_1_8_Photos.RAR)

Download Photos F (Full Photo extract)

Will download the latest FULL photo extract with the following filename

Filename: OE_D_<DistrictID>_<Sequence>.RAR (e.g. OE_F_1_8_Photos.RAR)

After clicking the desired extract download button, the file download dialog box appears to select the destination folder for the extract file as shown below:

Image 189

In case the extract file is not available (anymore) on the server, the following dialog box might appear:

Image 190

The reason for this box to appear could be that the file to be downloaded has been removed from the server or that you have attempted the download a full extract but no full extract was generated (only the differential extracts exist). It is also possible that you have attempted to download a photo extract but no photos were added since the last extract.

Checking the checkbox In background means that the off-line extract will be created in background and the user will be notified by e-mail (provided his/her e-mail is entered in the register of users) as shown below:

Image 191

In case the extract is created in the background, the following dialog box appears:

C - Import Extract

The Choose file section should be clicked to select an extract file to upload/import. The following file selector appears for Internet explorer (the appearance might differ for different internet browsers):

Image 195

On clicking the Choose File button, the file selector dialog appears as shown below:

Image 196

With the import/upload of an extract it is important to understand that each extract has its sequence number. This sequence number is found in the filename of the extract. We would in case of differential imports/uploads have to follow the sequence. In the example screen above, it shows in the status bar, that the last import was number 6. Therefore we should select in this case the differential extract number 7 as highlighted in the file selection dialog.

Alternatively the operator could select any full extract with a sequence number higher than 6. In case a wrong extract is selected, warning messages will appear as shown below:

Image 197

Image 198

In case you are missing extract sequences, additional extracts are needed to be uploaded before the extract selected. The extract selected, in this case, does not directly follow the last sequence as indicated in the status bar of the screen. The additional extracts are to be provided by NSHIP district office.

In case the extract file selected is valid, the system will import the data. New data will be added and existing data might be modified. After a successful import of an extract (Differential and FULL), a form is displayed with the statistics of the import as shown below:

Image 199

The above statistics are provided to give some quick overview of how many records were inserted or updated during the import process. In case we would for example update the phone number of an enrolment officer, it would result in one update and one insert as we always keep historical records. The photos inserts and updates are related to information on the photos, but are not the actual photographs. The actual photographs (\*.jpg) are uploaded separately.

D - Import Photos

The import of photos is optional and will have no further checking on sequence numbers. NSHIP should provide (if available) with each extract the photo extract as well.

E.g. (for Differential extract)

Image 200

OR (for FULL extract)

Image 201

The photo extract will contain all photographs associated with the actual extract in a zipped format. The Upload procedure will simply unzip the extract and copy the image files to the photo folder of IMIS.

After successful upload of the photographs the following message appears:

Image 202

E - Button panel

The ‘Cancel’ button brings the operator back to the main page of IMIS.

F - Information panel

The Information Panel is used to display messages back to the user. Messages will occur once an action has completed or if there was an error at any time during the process of these actions. If the user opens the openIMIS extracts page (in offline mode only), the status bar will show the last sequence number uploaded.

Information Panel

The Information Panel is used to display messages back to the user. Messages will occur if there was an error at any time during the processing of the reports.

Utilities¶

Access to the Utilities is restricted to the users with the role of openIMIS Administrator.

The Utilities is the place for database administration. By having access to this page, it is possible to backup and restore the openIMIS operational database and also to execute SQL Scripts (patches provided for maintenance or update of the database). At the top of the page, the current “Backend” version is displayed for reference.

Backup¶

Backup utility can be found in the top panel of the Utilities Page. By default the path of the backup folder will be populated from the default table. User can change the path according to the requirement. Next to the textbox user can see one heck box called Save Path. If user wants to update the backup folder in default table then this check box should be in checked state. Otherwise system will take the backup on the folder assigned by the user but it will not be updated in database. So next time when user comes on the Utilities Page, the textbox will be populated with the original path. After the path has been entered user can just click on the Backup button to start the process and a progress bar will be appeared on the screen. Users are requested to be patient while the system performs the task.

Backup is in progress

Restore¶

Restore utility can be found in the second panel of the Utilities Page. User will have to put the path of the backup file to be restored. After the path has been entered user can just click on the Restore button to start the process and a progress bar will be appeared on the screen. Users are requested to be patient while the system performs the task.

Backup is in progress

Execute script can be found in the third panel of the Utilities Page. User will have to choose the script by clicking on the browse button. User will have to select the file only with the .isf extension. After the file has been chosen, user can just click on the Execute button to run the script. Users are requested to be patient while the system is executing the script. After the script is executed successfully, backed version will be updated to the latest version. If user will try to run the lower or the equal version’s script then system will prompt the user with the appropriate message

Funding¶

Access to the Funding is restricted to the users with the system role of Accountant or with a role including an access to Tools/Funding.

The Funding is the place where funding from external authorities (payers) can be for entered. openIMIS creates internally one fictive family/group (the insurance number of the head of the fictive family/group is 999999999, the name is Funding and the other name is Funding as well) for the district for which a funding is done. Each entering of a fund results in creation of a fictive policy for the corresponding fictive family/group with paid contribution in the amount of the funding. The fictive policy is active since the date of payment of the corresponding fund. These fictive policies are overpaid as these funds are usually much higher than the contribution rate for a single family/member of the group but it doesn’t matter. External funding corresponds to payment of contributions for many families/members of the group in some period. openIMIS can regard funds as standard contributions and its standard functionality can be used for handling of funds. One distinctive feature of payment of funds by means of the fictive policies is that the payments of funds don’t appear in the reports on matching funds generated for funding authorities. So, there is no danger that offices of the scheme administration would acquire new funds based on funding already acquired.

Offline mode¶

IMIS system can be used in offline mode, which makes it possible for usage by health facilities (HF) and scheme administration offices with low/no internet connectivity.

Offline Facilities¶

Facilities available while offline and online in IMIS, are similar with some few differences. The following are the feature wise differences found while using openIMIS in offline mode.

Login

If a user who is logging in is having user role HF Administrator or offline Scheme Administrator and if Heath Facility ID/Scheme Office ID is not set yet, just after clicking login button on the login screen/page, the user will be prompted to enter Health Facility/Scheme Office ID (Img. 299), (Img. 300), only once for that very first time of logging in.

Enter HF ID - HF Administrator Login, openIMIS offline

Enter Scheme Office ID - offline Scheme Administrator Login, openIMIS offline

Information bar

Throughout the application, an information bar at the bottom of each page will have a different background colour to that of online openIMIS and on the its right end, there will be shown heath facility code and health facility name / Scheme Office ID submitted (Img. 301), (Img. 302).

Group insurance¶

openIMIS is supporting group insurance since the October 2021 release, this feature allows a “policyholder” to take insurance for other insuree.

This feature does not change the insuree registration process, therefore the insuree must be already known by openIMIS before being attached to a policyholder.

Getting started¶

openIMIS must have those configured:

Products

Locations

Health Facilities

Before starting the configuration of openimis the scheme must be defined upfront

this features don’t covers the registration of the insuree, insuree must be registered using other openIMIS functions

Setting up the contribution plans

This feature comes with contribution plans, those items are used to bring flexibility in the pricing models for a product. thanks to contributions plan, the scheme administrator can define different pricing for the same coverage.

Before setting up the policyholder the scheme administrator must setup the contribution plans and then make bundle of contribution plan; even if only one contribution plan (product) is wished to be available for group insurance on “bundle” must still be created.
Creating the policyholder

Once the general information regarding the Policyholder is saved, the eligible contribution plan bundle for that policyholder must be linked in the “contribution plan bundle” tab.
add Policyholder users

to allow the inputs from the policyHolder, openimis user can be configure to the PH user, so they will have access the data that need to be maintained by the policyholders
Adding insuree on the policyholder

Insuree can be added via the “policyholder insuree” tab, the clerk will have to find the insuree using the insuree number, then the policyholder contribution bundle plan (PH-CBP) need to be attached to the insuree

Once PH-CBP is selected, the calucation params will be pulled (eg. invoice) and new inputs fields might apprears
Generating coverage

Used to generate coverage the group insurance features used contracts.

At creation the contrat will pull the valid PH-Insuree, once created (draft), the contract will have to go through severals steps : submitted (negociable) , approved (executable) , payed (Effective) then the coverage are active for the contract dates (can be modulated by the contribution plans)
Generating payment to third parites

Once a claim is approved a payment is likely to be due, if order to generate the appropriate payment, payment plans need to be used

Mobile Applications¶

User Manual – CHF-IMIS apps, relates to the versions 1.3.0 and newer (see the Remark)

Introduction

The Insurance Management Information System (IMIS) is the web based software supporting running of health insurance schemes. It includes functionality for a setup to requirements of health insurance schemes, administration of policies and policyholders and for claim processing.

The web forms used in IMIS are not adjusted to small screens of mobile phones and this is one of reasons why IMIS provides applications on the Android platform that can be used effectively in the field for preparation and retrieving of data for/from the web IMIS. There are two applications available that provide essential functionality for enrolment officers (IMIS Policies) and for claim administrators (IMIS Claims).

Both applications allow autonomous preparation of data (enrolment and policy data by IMIS Policies and claim data by IMIS Claims) and their on-line or off-line transfer to/from web IMIS. Principally both applications can be used also in the environment with no or just occasional access to Internet.

This manual is a guide on the use and functionality of the software rather than in-depth technical reference. The Contents section, provide a reference to the page of each major chapter and the sub chapters within. By clicking on the content title (online version), the reader is re-directed to the position of the content title.

The following conventions are used:

Hyperlink enable a quick link (using the online version) to the subject relating to the functionality,
Item means an item in a drop down list,
Label means a data field or a button,
Name of Page means a name of page or a data field in a text without hyperlink.

At any time while using the online version, the following shortcuts are available:

Ctrl Home : Move to the top of the document

Ctrl End: move to the end of the document.

Page Up : Move Page Up

Page Down: Move Page Down

The mobile application IMIS Claims¶

Launching of IMIS Claims¶

To launch the application IMIS Claims just click on the icon of the application. Users must have a valid code of a claim administrator (entered in the register of claim administrators in the web IMIS) and for selected functionalities must have a valid User Name and Password provided by an administrator of the web IMIS. The User Name data field in login pages is pre-filled with claim administrator code entered while launching the application. The reason is that the web IMIS can create automatically a user record simultaneously with an entry of a new claim administrator into the register of claim administrators. Such automatically created user has its User Name equal to the claim administrator code. However, this pre-filled User Name can re-written by any valid User Name.

The Initial Page appears:

Off-line mode of the applications¶

The applications IMIS Policies and IMIS Claims require for certain functions Internet connectivity for communication with the web IMIS. Other functions of both applications can be used autonomously without availability of Internet connectivity. There is a possibility to move to a place where Internet connectivity is ensured only for time when functions requiring Internet connectivity are used (e.g. initialization of an application, synchronization etc.) and use autonomous functions in settings without Internet connectivity. However, this may not be practical or even possible in all situations. Therefore, there is a possibility to substitute on-line connection for some functions by off-line transfer of files from/to the web IMIS. Thus, utilization of the application in an environment without Internet connectivity is guaranteed.

Off-line mode of IMIS Claims¶

The following table gives an overview of functions according to their requirements towards Internet connectivity and possible off-line substitutions.

IMIS Claims
