Thank you for sharing your experience. Accidentally deleting the database must be very stressful, thankfully you have backup. Role-based access control might also be useful, so staff can only perform operations on the system (such as reading, writing, and deleting data) based on their roles assigned to them.

Thank you for sharing. I agree, every staff member who handle data must be trained on proper data management.

We have not yet encountered any problem in Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability in our current EMR.

How about national policies for data sharing in Myanmar? Is there any national policy or law that you can adopt for your system?

Hi Salin, thank you for your great presentation. In your data collection method, data will be automatically extracted from EHRs. May I knwo what tool/s will you use for the data extraction?

I would like to share my memorable leadership experience in 2023, when I was tasked to lead one of the events during our town festival, the Ana Kalang Lanzones Festival.

Thank you for sharing. The digital health gap between urban and rural areas is also present experienced in the Philippines and needs improvement.

I think the Philippines still need to improve on all the five themes. However, I think the one that is most relevant today is about Transparency and Trust (Theme 2). The controversy surrounding the alleged corruption on flood control projects worth billions of pesos have been on the headlines for weeks now, with private contractors and government…[Read more]
