The roadmap is structured with five core themes: 1) Team, 2) Transparency and Trust, 3) Technology, 4) Techquity, and 5)Transformation. Based on the articles, the five core themes are prescribed with the following perspective.
1) Team
Collaboration between stakeholders in health teams should be prioritized during pandemics and should promote the flow of data to improve population health.
2) Transparency and Trust
Timely data and information are necessary to address a pandemic, and digital health approaches must preserve rights to privacy and consent.
3) Technology
Public health systems should use the necessary technology to create and share health intelligence, collecting and using high-quality data in a timely fashion.
4) Techquity
Act to decrease inequities in digital health capability and access at individual, local, national, regional, and global levels, while embracing digital inclusion.
5) Transformation
Digital health should enable and empower people, and health care systems, to prevent and treat communicable diseases; sustain wellness; and prevent pandemics.
In Myanmar, According to my own perspective; It is needed to improve especially techquity and transformation themes rather than above three themes. In our system, digital heath record is not widely used in the hospital. Patient are used paper medical record and interoperability is not working well from hospital to another hospital. In the term of emergency, digital health system is main aspect to conduct effective intervention.
The second one that need to strengthen is transformation. Digital health system should encourage and widely used as nationally. It can be conducted by integrating technologies like EHRs, clinical decision support, and patient management systems into existing health system.
