At the beginning of the Pandemic, calculating the exact positivity number of Covid-19 had been facing a severe problem that was the source of controversy in Indonesia. Weak reporting pathways sometimes made the mismatch of Covid-19 data between central and local governments, and some surveillance data were underreported. It occurred because the…[Read more]

Such an good idea. One of the key successful prevention of phishing attack started from human resources. I agree that you mentioned awareness training and simulation as in some cases, phishing requires the user’s action through the email. In specific, training should accommodate how to verify the exact sender’s mailing address and recognize them…[Read more]

Totally agree with you, brother. A health provider with over 1 M patients is considered as large-scale organization, and they should implement IaaS as the best choice for cloud computing rather than purchasing the software from Meta. Data security and privacy is ought to be the primary concern.
Thank you.

I like your topic and the way you elucidate.
Let me add a suggestion that may enrich data breaches prevention strategies. I think actualize yearly or monthly network security assessment is important. It would help organization to make early detecion and response to any malicious email breach committed by unauthorized party.
Best.

I agree. Cloud system checking is important before it is being launched. Even more, Meta is one reputable IT company in the world which already gained public trust.
Thank you for kind response.

IaaS is very good idea for hospital security. We will have much more authority to control the infrastructure and the cloud server as well. Perhaps it needs careful planning and budgeting with the limitation of IT operator.

When talking with the executive board, I propose the hospital to pay investment for the cloud computing and this idea should be proven by the cost benefit analysis (CBA). Calculating the cost and estimating benefits gained from owning a healthcare server infrastructure and hiring additional IT manpower will become the main rationale, and I shall…[Read more]

One important thing about attackers is they must be commit their malicious action in a well-structured, organized, and planned method. They will observe any chance by looking the limitation of the system, limitation of the technology, and weakness of human capacity who operates the computer. When they capture every little opportunities, for…[Read more]

During the Covid-19 pandemic, many apps were invented by Indonesians from various institutions but their aim was identical: to store, manage, and report health data. In my organization at least 6 web apps have been used as tools for travel health surveillance (named A, B, C, D, E, and F apps), but only A, B, and C were interconnected respectively.…[Read more]

Interesting idea to have a growth mindset among health informaticians working in multidisciplinary teamwork. While a fixed mindset is an obstacle and should not be present in a dynamic situation, an open-minded person with a growth mindset helps the organization to develop creatively.

Best.

A public health specialist or expert in health informatics is ought to have an integrated perspective because they will be targeting a large group of people that is highly complex nature. As a young professional working for disease prevention by embracing the role of health informatics, a proportionate foundation in management, statistical…[Read more]

I really impressed to your idea. Considering the workload of other officers such as frontline workers is highly required when developing the dashboard. I think those officers could be involved since you plan, prepare, and test the dashboard before you launch it.

That’s so true. I also argue that a good user behavior can improve cyber security management, at least for his/her computer. Whoever computer users are, they should be able to detect and realize any malicious practice attack their own devices before further damage occurs.

Thanks for sharing.

If I were a hospital’s top leader, I would pay investment of the hospital’s information system to cloud service as it provides leverages to manage, store, and process data online through the general internet that I can minimize the use of hospital servers and IT manpower.

Hospitals, both primary and referral hospitals may have a complex o…[Read more]

Let me share my experience of getting unintentional threats to my device. My laptop had ever been infected by some unknown malwares but I did never know where this was particularly come from. It happened a long time ago when I was an undergraduate college in which at that time, portable computers such as notebooks and laptops were popular among…[Read more]

In my opinion, the dashboard for data visualization become impactful to healthcare provider as it shows their accountability, transparency, artistry, and professionalism (the acronym is ATAP – I create this term in order to simplify the explanation). By developing the visual dashboard for their web application or data dissemination, accountability…[Read more]

Although I am a health officer that is not working in the hospital or public health service, your idea and plan are truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
