From news and my work experience, I recognize Thailand’s long-standing challenges in the healthcare workforce. Recent reports also highlight a rising trend of doctors resigning due to those issues.

1. Workload and Burnout
Public hospitals often experience severe overcrowding due to an imbalanced patient-to-doctor ratio, particularly in tertiary…[Read more]

Implementation costs and dependence on technology are important challenges when using EMR. The hospital needs a good budget plan and staff training to make sure the system works well. Also, hospitals must prepare backup plans for system failures, such as manual record-keeping or alternative IT support, to ensure patient care continues smoothly.

Thank you for sharing, I agree that quality of data should be one of the major challenges, while anonymization helps protect patient identities, obtaining informed consent should be a standard practice in big data research. However, in practice, obtaining explicit consent from every patient can be challenging, especially in retrospective studies…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing these valuable suggestions! I agree that addressing missing data, Data Quality Improvement, and privacy concerns is crucial for making big health data more reliable in cardiovascular research. Collaboration between experts and institutions, along with clear guidelines and ethical frameworks, will help ensure accurate analysis…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing. I agree that EMR improves efficiency and patient care by making information easily accessible and reducing errors. However, technical issues and data security are big concerns. Hospitals need to balance the benefits with proper training and strong security measures to protect patient data.

In my setting, EMR has been used for over 10 years, and currently some inpatient wards also use CPOE (Computerized Physician Order Entry). From my experience, there are both advantages and disadvantages to replacing traditional paper-based medical records with EMR.

One of the biggest advantages is the reduction in paperwork. This helps decrease…[Read more]

Big health data has great potential to improve cardiovascular research, but there are many challenges that need to be addressed. Here are ways to address them:

1. Missing Data
Missing data is a common problem in big health datasets and can lead to biased results. To handle missing data, we can use imputation techniques, such as mean imputation,…[Read more]

Thank you for your insightful discussion. It reminds me of the word “goodness,” which, like corruption, can vary in meaning depending on their values and individual perspectives. Defining corruption carefully to avoid misinterpretation is crucial and ensure appropriate action in each unique context., especially in complex contexts like health systems.

Thank you for sharing. I agree that corruption can sometimes become a social norm, especially in places where laws are weak or governments are corrupt. Strengthening anti-corruption mechanisms and promoting external audits are great suggestions to improve accountability in health organizations.

Thank you for sharing. I think coordination across all six WHO building blocks is essential for achieving sustainable and impactful outcomes. It will enhance healthcare access and improve patient follow-up more effectively. Additionally, I agree that ensuring the quality of health data is essential for a successful digital health system.

Thank you for your sharing. I think implementing DHIS2 is a promising way to improve health data management and efficiency in Chin State. As you mentioned, investing in digital systems needs a lot of resources, so it’s very important to carefully consider the cost-effectiveness and funding stability.

In my opinion, the four recommended actions proposed for public health professionals to tackle corruption are practical and provide good guidelines.

I agree with the idea of gathering key stakeholders in the health system to understand the scope and nature of corruption. This is an important step to raise awareness and build shared…[Read more]

The “Cancer Anywhere” policy is an important example of healthcare system improvement in Thailand. Its main goal is to help cancer patients with the Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS) get quick, complete, and free treatment. Patients can receive treatment in hospitals across provinces with the necessary capabilities without needing a referral.…[Read more]

Thank you for share your experience, disaster recovery plans must be tailored to an organization’s unique needs, considering risks like cyber-attacks or natural disasters. Establishing a Disaster Recovery Committee ensures effective coordination and communication during crises.

A comprehensive Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is essential for maintaining organizational resilience, focusing on risk assessment, clear recovery objectives, and efficient backup strategies. Regular testing and staff training are critical to enhance readiness and minimize downtime during emergencies.

For a super tertiary hospital, the stability and security of the information system are very important. We must ensure the system runs smoothly and that patient data is protected to keep the hospital functioning. The development of a disaster recovery plan should include the following key procedures:

Risk Assessment: Identify risks to the…[Read more]

Yes, breaking down tasks and prioritizing them is a great way to stay organized and meet project goals. Using key project management steps, even if not all 12 are followed, it can still help ensure the project work is successful.

Thank you for sharing your approach. It’s great to see how you balance flexibility and structure in project management. Using a customized chart to track tasks and progress is a smart way to stay organized and productive. Incorporating more steps from the 12-step process in the future is a good plan to improve even further. I will Incorporating its too.

For my research project on DRG, I am applying some of the 12-step project management process. First, I clearly define my goals: to learn about the DRG system and Case Mix Index and to complete the research within one year. I agree on the expected results, timeline, and deliverables.

Next, I list the tasks needed for the project and organize them…[Read more]

In emergencies, having a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) with High Availability is very important. It helps doctors quickly access patient history and make better decisions, even under pressure, ensuring safe and effective care during critical times.
