Hi Yin! Glad to know you!

I like your strategy to gradually move to cloud computing since it would take significant time to move paper records to the cloud computing, as well as capacity of the Human Resources matter. Also I agree with your point on using PaaS service model in minimizing workloads on server management and security. Strict and strong policies on handling…[Read more]

If I were a hospital director or executive, I would plan to move the hospital information system to cloud computing for the following reasons. I would choose the PaaS service model as it allows us to manage our own applications and patient, doctor, and hospital operation data, while the cloud provider takes care of storage, runtime, servers, and…[Read more]

Hi Aung!

Thanks for your f/u questions on my experience on this personal cyberattack. Regarding your question, this issue was happened 3 years ago, and I am not so sure what was the root cause of this issue, as some people also had the same experience with the payment (with Apple account) at that time, particularly with the specific banking…[Read more]

Hi Hteik Htar!

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Hi Soe!
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hi Siriluk! Thanks for sharing your experiences. And, good to know about DRP to prevent cyberattacks in the future. And yet, I think the plan that fits with the contexts is essential for IT system, to protect the valuable data from the organization/companies.

In my experience, the most common cyber threats I’ve come across at work are phishing emails. They usually look like official messages and try to trick people into clicking a link or sharing sensitive information. Luckily, my organization provides regular training on cybersecurity awareness which has helped me and my colleagues spot suspicious e…[Read more]

Hi Siriluk!

Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. I think that sounds contemporary, particularly in high, and middle income countries. For patients those have basic technological knowledge, it’s a great approach for hospital settings. On the other hand, for those who do not have enough tech knowledge, may be from the hospital operation team,…[Read more]

If I were to build a medical app for patients and doctors as part of the hospital system or workflow, I would choose to build a LAN client/server application for the following reasons.

Firstly, we need to think about the importance of information sharing, particularly in terms of data security and confidentiality. Sensitive patient information,…[Read more]

I agree with your points. From your experience sharing ,I could say that all components of IS are highly related to human’s expertise (technical ability) and continuous oversights, to operate the system smoothly and with minimal errors.

I agree with your points while we are talking about IS in Myanmar. Particularly, data quality issue is one of the most problematic issues in PHC referral and IS. Although the assigned staffs are provided series of training, we frequently encounter man-made errors/ignorance overtimes. This could lead to wrong/misinformation to the authorities who…[Read more]
