OpenClinic GA Open Source Hospital Information System Enabled Universal Health Coverage Monitoring and Evaluation in Burundian Hospitals
The Universal Health Coverage(UHC)is at the center of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals agenda.In this study,the authors made an evaluation of the patient health coverage indicators in eight Burundian hospitals from 2011 to 2016.The relevant UHC indicators were calculated on the basis of patient administrative and health insurance data,collected via OpenClinic GA,an information and communication techiniolgy(ICT)supported helath management informaiton system(HMIS).The results show that the patient health services coverage rate was 70.8%for inpatients and 46.0%for outpatients.The patient health services payment rate as the proportion of total health service costs was above the 25%threshold recommended by WHO for inpatients(30.2%)and for outpatients(43.1%).The patient out-of-pocket payment was below the threshold of 180USD per patient per year for public hospitals.This study demonstrated the possibility to assess the degree of UHC in developing countries,by using routine data extracted automatically from the electronic HMIS.
