Your discussion was interesting and simulating. I agree with anonymization of data in ensuring privacy and confidentiality, which is the most important thing in any health data system.

I love your explanation by the analogy of garbage in and garbage out regarding data quality. In the end, low quality data can waste a lot of time. It should be handled in the first place.

The article focuses on utilizing Big Data to solve cardiovascular diseases and mentions the challenges of practically approaching it.

# (1) Missing data: It is due to the data being omitted by clinicians, considering it unnecessary, patient refusal, disagreeing with data collection, and unsolvable missing data. As a result, there is less than…[Read more]

The capacity building or corruption awareness training is a must have. It should be introduced during onboarding. Otherwise, he or she might think that it’s a norm. To provide trainings is also the employer’s obligation because not all people understand corruption as the same way.

It’s interesting that I have never thought that spending office hours for personal tasks as corruption but abusing while spending office resources is indeed a corruption. Sometimes, employees may lookup information such as travel and tour, local news for personal interest, on the other hand, as per traditional company policy, everything we do on…[Read more]

Your discussion is thought provoking. Although a hospital uses a health data standard while another hospital uses a different standard, then can we call it a standard? In the end, it seems to me that the universal standard is just paper format. The possible solution to a universal standard is to be enforced by the government. It should be…[Read more]

The six building blocks are useful when strengthening the health systems. As the terms explain, it is the building block, we can build it upon brick by brick / blocks by block. Of all blocks, focusing on the essentials such as service delivery is the realistic approach. In my opinion, I think that a sustainable solution needs financing to keep it…[Read more]

Based on the four recommendations points, as a public health professional, one can participate actively in building consensus on corruption’s scope. If it does not exist yet in his organization, he can give advice to the organization he’s working at if they are open to ideas.

Second, in agreeing on the consensus, it might need to define the…[Read more]

Providing free treatments for cancer patients under the UCS is the first significant step towards healthcare equity.

Regarding the long waitlist, I think that prioritizing case by case (urgent cases) would be a fair system rather than a first-come-first-served order. Or, it means that more specialists are demanding.

I agree that there should…[Read more]

As an example, let’s assume that a non-government organization (NGO) manages public health programs in Chin State, Myanmar. This remote, conflict-affected region has no government health infrastructure except for the NGO. The normal data flow of health information is done by taking pictures of paper records and compiling them into different…[Read more]

I am currently working at a health tech startup focusing on developing a health information system for Myanmar, especially for underserved ethnic communities I learned statistics during my dental school, which is a part of…[Read more]

Thank you for your advice. It helped me realize that multiple Gantt charts can be used to break down large projects, not just for different projects.

Thank you for suggestion, Ajan.

Most organizations I’ve worked with had a small IT and engineering department team of less than 8 people and were budget-constrained. I will describe a disaster recovery plan based on those criteria and the on-premise information system (physical system, not cloud) and recommend suitable technologies based on the plan.

(1) Risk assessment and…[Read more]

The benefits of high availability will be evident when the system becomes unresponsive and experiences a failure. For the patients and hospitals, all operations will be stopped, which will delay treatments (in turn affecting patient outcomes), inefficient hospital workflows, and affect the quality of care (disappointing patient experience).

The…[Read more]

Your presentation offered valuable insights and expanded my knowledge of malaria and its surveillance.
A question that doubts me is:
If a patient visits a healthcare facility (e.g., hospitals, clinics) for medical attention and the consent form doesn’t explicitly mention disease surveillance, can we still use the data collected from that…[Read more]

Your presentation covers a comprehensive explanation of every topic for malaria surveillance. Regarding the data flow, an interesting question for me is what the data flow diagram looks like after the military coup.

Your presentation is insightful and I’ve never thought that weak case definition would be helpful and useful in detecting potential cases earlier than confirmed cases for a more proactive response. I think that you’ve already been familiar with the flow of how a surveillance system works since the data flow diagram is impressive, I am curious to…[Read more]
