In our municipality, the Nutrition Unit has been under the Social Welfare and Development Office for a long time. I wanted to transfer to the Health Office because they…[Read more]

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. However, we are currently experiencing a problem with confidentiality and availability of a system we are using, the Integrated Tuberculosis Information System (ITIS). ITIS is a web-based application wherein all health facilities in the…[Read more]

Hi Aung, thank you for your great presentation. I would like to suggest adding an alternative method for confirming absence of students,in case parents do not have access to Line app or are not always connected to the internet.

HFMD cases from schools must be reported to their local health office if the students were not hospitalized. If the students with HFMD were hospitalized, the hospital’s surveillance…[Read more]

Hello Nang Phyoe, thank you for your great presentation. You mentioned by 2026 you plan to develop data sharing policies since there are no existing policies in the target area. 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. Our town has been annually holding this festival since 1987, but celebrations had been on hold since 2019 due to election ban and the pandemic. Many people were excited and…[Read more]
