BRICS Solution Awards

Compensation Claims Management System (CCMS)

Problem and implemented solution

Problem: o Inaccurate recordkeeping of mineworkers in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), hence the mining industry loosing contact with former mineworkers; o Inefficient and ineffective processing of unclaimed mineworkers lung disease benefits; o Unnecessary benefit medical examination (BME) submissions into the MBOD due to unknown service records for former mineworkers; o Difficult CCOD claim finalisation due to the unknown whereabouts of former mineworkers; and o Subsequent fraud due to the above. Implemented Solution: CCMS is an end-to-end web-based electronic workflow platform that facilities the paperless processing of occupational lung disease claims. CCMS is role and transaction-based allowing for the segregation of duties per functionality area and which allows for data input, processing and calculations, document output, and reporting through dashboards and data outputs. Medical content including x-ray images are stored against the mineworker record. Implemented at the Tshiamiso Trust in November 2020, followed by the MBOD in July 2021.
