This session was held in English. Recordings of the French, Spanish and Portuguese interpretations are available below.

Social protection and health systems usually operate through separate registries, information systems, case management processes and financing arrangements.

Interoperability between the two systems can resolve the fragmentation that causes duplicate registration, administrative burden, missed entitlements, high verification costs, weak referrals, weak coverage monitoring, and delayed benefit delivery.

This webinar will showcase how a government can begin their interoperability pathway without risks of data breaches and misuse. The webinar will highlight which use cases are most valuable, and what governance, data and technical preconditions should be considered before linking systems.

Specifically, participants will learn:

  • about main use case categories (and concrete examples) for interoperability between social protection and health systems.
  • how social protection systems can connect to the wider digital health ecosystem.
  • about key implementation preconditions, including legal basis, (data) governance, technical standards, institutional agreements and safeguards.
