To meet the demand of management and improve the efficiency of health insurance assessment, the VSS built a Health Insurance Medical Information Review System to connect more than 12,000 medical centers nationwide and to standardize data input for data sharing and information exchange between medical centers and social insurance agencies.
Organizations from Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines also received the award in the IT category at the ceremony.
The ASSA Recognition Awards started in 2015 to share successes with other member organizations in the categories of Innovation, Transformation, Customer Service, Strategic Communication, Information Technology, Insurance Coverage, Financial Literacy and Governance.
This year’s awards were granted to 17 organizations in all eight categories.
The ASSA was found in 1998 following the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement in Bangkok, Thailand on February 13 that year, involving heads of social security institutions from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. Representatives from Laos and Vietnam also attended the signing ceremony as observers. Later that year, the Vietnam Social Security became a member of ASSA.
This is the fifth time the Vietnam Social Security has chaired the ASSA Board Meeting. It undertook the chairmanship during 2002 – 2003 and organised the ASSA Board Meeting in 1999, 2002, 2005 and 2010. ASSA members now comprise 19 social security institutions from 10 ASEAN nations.
