Hi Kevin! I heard that DHIS2 works quite well on HIV and TB programs, however, I haven’t heard about Malaria yet. Hope, it’s working now.

Agreed! Cost is a crucial for sustainable project. Also, government spending/budget allocation on such systems plays an important role for the success.

Hi William! I agree with the factor “lack of enough data” for making decision is important for the organization. In addition, data quality also supports the right decision. Otherwise, there will be like ‘garbage in, garbage out’. 😀

Based on the given scenario:

Should you give the data out?
No, we should not give individual-level data such as home addresses, geolocation, and contact numbers. If we do this, we will violate the principles of information privacy, security, and least intrusive alternative, as well as accountability on ethical duties to protect confidentiality…[Read more]

Based on the provided scenario:

• As a health information professional, I should not disclose the patient’s information to my close friend, even if she may face consequences, because we must uphold the ethical principle of patient confidentiality and respect the patient’s right to control access to their own health information. The infor…[Read more]

I’d like to share another example of a successful system that was used in my previous organization. The system, called Integra, is a real-time project management tool that integrates operations and program activities such as budgeting, supply chain management, human resources, and administration. The main purpose of Integra is to provide t…[Read more]

Background of the system

I’d like to share an example of a system failure from my previous work, focusing on One Health education. The One Health Workforce Academy (OHWA) was created as a global online hub for training and certification in One Health, which recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, and the n…[Read more]

Agreed! inconsistency/no ICD standard would cause issues for further processes as you mentioned.

Thanks Kevin for sharing your experience with FUCHIA. Yeah, I think we also need to think options like MSF to tackle physician’s burnout, while maintaining strict data privacy and integrity.

Thanks for your presentation on OpenMRS for ART patients, Ko Aung. I’m glad to see how patients benefit from this system in achieving better health outcomes!

Hi William!
Thanks for your presentation on eHealth Africa, that was really interesting! I can imagine how this eHealth project improves access to health care, especially for people living in remote areas. It would help make health care services more equitable and accessible for the community. I’m just wondering how does the project address cold…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing Ko Aung!It’s good to learn about OpenMRS for HIV care in MM. Is it integrated with national HIV system or, stand alone for the organization?

Hi Ko Aung! I agree with your point on the importance of EMR design, it really matters! and yes, EMR should be valuable to clinical practice and clinical decision support system. Therefore, building trust and sense of ownership for the clinicians about EMR would be an essential part of EMR system implementation.

Hi Khun Salin! I like your idea on using voice-over technology. I think it would help physicians’ routines saving time to some extent.

Hi Jenny! It’s a great presentation, and thank you for sharing the RxBox implementation in the Philippines. I can see how it improves health outcomes, particularly life-saving health care services, in disadvantaged communities in your country, both in terms of cost and customer satisfaction. It also enhances the decision-making process for c…[Read more]

Hi Mio!

It’s a great presentation! I like your conclusion part, “eHealth is more than IT system, it creates faster, smarter, and more connected surveillance system”.

Just a quick comment from my end. In addition to your points mentioned about improving current health practices, I think this app/system improves health outcomes by reducing the…[Read more]

Yeah, I get your point. That’s why I’d like to emphasize access to health care, where considering health equity in planning, designing, and implementation is essential to minimize the gaps between rural and urban areas. I believe even developed countries are still facing these kinds of inequalities, and it will take time to fully address them.

Thanks for your great presentation! I like the way you presented your eHealth project by using your own experience as an example from the customer’s point of view in receiving health services. It clearly highlighted both the cost and customer satisfaction.

In addition to the points you mentioned for improving current health practices, I think w…[Read more]

Hi Mio!

Of coz! I’m on it whenever any opportunity comes up!

From my work experience, one example of a Decision Support System (DSS) is the malaria reporting platform. We used it to record malaria test results, treatments, follow-up care, and patient details through a provided app that synchronized with the national malaria database system. The system helped us keep track of cases in real time (or nearly…[Read more]
