This situation raises several ethical dilemmas. As a health information professional, I must according to professional codes of ethics.

1. What should you do?
As a health information professional, I should not take any action beyond my official duties. The patient’s medical information is confidential and protected. I must maintain…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing how the ADKAR model was used in implementing SAP Business One. I think the most important parts were making sure everyone knew why the change was needed and giving them good training. It’s great to see how a well-planned change can help a company improve its work.

Your organization did a great job implementing the finance application by following the ADKAR model. Clear communication, staff motivation, and hands-on training helped make the change smoother. The additional support during the process and positive recognition also encouraged the team to use the system effectively.

Based on the use of a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system within the electronic medical record (EMR) for inpatients (IPD) from Topic Discussion 1, I think the transformation process was handled well, but there are some areas that could be improved. Here’s how the ADKAR model applies to the situation.

Awareness: For the change to be…[Read more]

Hello Siriluk, thanks for sharing your experience with SAP Business One in a pharmaceutical company. It seems like the system helped a lot with managing complex tasks and following rules. It’s interesting that the system was able to handle the special rules while still being easy to use. It’s nice to hear that the system was cheaper than bigger…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing about a financial application. That’s an interesting example of a successful system implementation. It’s great to see how the new financial application helped the clinic improve efficiency. I think the key factors were the user-friendly design and the staff’s willingness to adapt. It shows that when a system is well-designed…[Read more]

My hospital has developed and started using an electronic medical record system for IPD. They began with two departments where doctors were willing to cooperate, pilot in four patient wards. During implementation, one department stopped using it. It’s hard for me to say this system success or failure (I don’t know the evaluation data). However,…[Read more]

Hello Cing Sian Dal, thank you for your interest in the project. Based on the paper I referenced, published in 2023, and another paper in 2024 by Ruissen, M.M., Steyerberg, E.W., Huisman, S.D. et al. (2024), which provides critical comments on the assessment of quality of life and the clinical impact of the POWER2DM intervention, I expect this…[Read more]

Hello Aung Thura Htoo, if you are interested in more details about the shared decision-making process, you can go to URL: https://www.power2dm.eu/wp-content/uploads/Power2DM-D1.1-1.pdf

Implementing a Data Dashboard for decision-making is indeed a great starting point. I completely agree that to effectively transition to a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS), we must consider that successfully implementing electronic medical records is crucial. Additionally, the performance of the computers is important; they must have…[Read more]

As far as I know, my organization has been discussing the development of a Duplicate Lab Test Alerts system as part of the Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS). This system is designed to prevent unnecessary repeat lab tests, helping to reduce costs and inconvenience for patients. There has also been talk about implementing a Medication Alert…[Read more]

I agree with your points. If hospitals do not using ICD standards, it would lead to significant issues with standardization and health information exchange. This would make it harder to track diseases, share information between hospitals, and conduct public health monitoring effectively. Additionally, it would create inefficiencies and…[Read more]

If hospitals in a country do not use the ICD standard to classify disease diagnoses, several negative consequences could arise:

Lack of Uniformity: Each hospital might use different coding systems, leading to inconsistencies in how diseases are classified and documented. This lack of uniformity would make it difficult to compare data across…[Read more]

The issue of “poor design” or “not user-friendly” in the development of digital technology, particularly Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), is a significant concern that impacts both physicians and patients. Involving physicians in the design process from the beginning can enhance that the system addresses real challenges and needs.

What do you think about this finding?
When I read this research report, I was somewhat surprised to learn that EHRs are a leading cause of physician burnout. This has implications, including increased turnover, mental health issues, and rising substance abuse. I believe this may stem from the challenges associated with transitioning to new…[Read more]

Hello Tanaphum, thank you for sharing information about MorDee. This eHealth could improves access to healthcare services in Thailand through remote consultations with various medical specialists anytime, anywhere via smartphones, also medication delivery, online insurance claim services, and online payments, removing the need for hospital visits…[Read more]

Hello Aye Thinzar, thank you for sharing your project experience. This project could improve health practices in Myanmar by providing accessible, offline health information in Burmese. The app allows users to access important health education without needing constant internet access. Its simple interface is likely to increase customer…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing your eHealth definition. You provided a concise and clear explanation. I agree that real-time data is valuable for certain aspects of eHealth, but it may not always be necessary for all types of health tracking. In some cases, having accurate, ready-to-use, and timely data can be sufficient. You might also emphasize the…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing about the MDHS. In my opinion, sensitive topics like domestic violence or HIV status should be approached carefully in large-scale surveys. Instead of asking these questions to everyone, using a sampling technique might be a more effective approach. This way, the survey can collect important data from a smaller, more specific…[Read more]
