There are some ways for people to attack the security such as:
– Breach into the server and stole all the stored data in the server
– Being an impostor, pretending to be an IT maintenance personnel that can solve computer problems and asking for credentials (ID, passwords, security key)
– Sending an email with link or attachment that has virus or…[Read more]

Since the hospital lacks IT manpower and does not have its own server, developing a network will be very costly. Thus, the solution I choose would be to use cloud server and Platform as a Service (PaaS) model. Using cloud server and PaaS model will be cheaper because they already had the infrastructure that ready to use. As a customer, we can…[Read more]

Fajar has thoroughly mentioned the information technology that has been used in Indonesia to help tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.

I want to add that the database also changed a lot from the first COVID-19 appearance until now. There are some additional variables that are now included. So if we were to analyse the data, some variables may have many…[Read more]

For developing enterprise architecture of health information system among different hospitals, we need:
1. health professionals, such as doctors, nurses, radiologists, pharmacists, laboratory technicians who mostly involved in patients data and health records
2. administration officers, such as:

As a statistician who works in public health research, there are many skills and knowledge I need to improve so I can move forward in my career path.
Firstly, I need to improve my understanding of epidemiology and public health. I need to learn about the terminology, what kind of questions are relevant to the particular public of interest, and…[Read more]

I would like to move the hospital information system’s to cloud computing. It gives many benefits to health practitioners. For example in the administrative part, we can simplify the patient records in the cloud instead of storing paper that can pile up and taking a lot of space. It will also can help if one day you want to use patient data for…[Read more]

With IoT and Big Data, we can connect, collect, and analyze many kinds of data that relevant to improve healthcare. For example, it can play a big role in the public health sector. Combine and analyze various healthcare data that could be used to estimate disease patterns, predicting outbreaks and transmission, and develop early warning…[Read more]

I won’t click such pop-up messages. What I will do is close the browser tab and delete history pages/cookies in the past hour. Afterwards, I will check if the firewall and anti-virus are active and working properly to make sure I am safe.

I had experienced it several times on my personal computer, and it is because I transfer data through USB drive. The files were copying themself. I had to bring it to the service center because I do not know how clear the virus/malware. Because of the incidences, I avoid sharing files through USB drive and prefer to share files by email or google…[Read more]

The dashboard for healthcare data visualization is helpful for the general public to understand the health situation in the area, like in this pandemic situation. Healthcare data is complex and often filled with terminology that can be confusing, so besides visualization, it is also important to put simple definition of the terminology so that the…[Read more]

I would like to build a hybrid app for data collection. Native app for the data input and web app for data visualisation and dashboard. Native app is really convenient, you practically bring it everywhere because it is on your phone. It is useful for when people are collecting data outside (for example when they are doing a survey or contact…[Read more]

I do not have much experience with programming languages. I had used Python to do web data scraping once. I actually just ran the code my friend gave to me, but I think Python is a really useful program so it would be nice if I can learn more about Python. If I googled “develop apps” many web pages also mentioned Python, it is a really popular…[Read more]

Internet is really helpful in improving healthcare and medicine. With the help of the internet, data collection can now be inputted directly to the system and thus reducing the error in inputting and reading the data compared to manually writing the data. The Internet also enables us to search for many information better and faster. Exchanging…[Read more]

In regards to health, Information System can be used in data collection. One of the example is the collection of COVID-19 data. The data needs to be real-time and reliable so it can generate an accurate picture of the pandemic situation. A strong foundation of reporting system is a key part of generating high-quality data to understand the…[Read more]

First, the measuring device would connect using the Personal Area Network (PAN) to a user computer. Then that user computer is connected to other computers or a hospital server using the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN have a small area coverage so the computers that are connected through LAN must be in close vicinity. Metropolitan Area Network…[Read more]

I agree with the others that TPS is the most common type of IS that we have experience with. In terms of daily life tasks, I used e-commerce a lot. The input would be what items I want to order, pay the right amount to the merchant’s bank account. Then I would get feedback that my order is processed. The output of that would be the status of the…[Read more]
