I want to share an example of a failed system (according to me) but still is operating. It’s a system called “X”; the system connects to other systems that overlapped each other. It’s like EMR, collected data and transactions are recorded. The “X” is to record all “ongoing” activities taken throughout the insurance claim cycle, which involved by…[Read more]

Hi Thanachol…I have no experience in hospital setting…so Could you describe how the system works?

Hi..Patcharapon…I think small hospital is more in needs of DDS for their practices….the system will help reduce medical error…or time consumed for big decision or in the hospital that are in a shortage of specialist or number of practitioner…they can somehow rely on the DDS to make decision on their own…especially internist who are fresh…[Read more]

Hi..Dr.Tullaya…I am trying to get to understand big data too…I have read an article explaining that big data can be like we go to a big pool or ocean where we don’t know what is under the water…what we know is that there are somethings deep down and we are finding it …. or maybe we wanted to find something…so we go to the big pool to…[Read more]

Thank you Aj. Saranath…So you meant, big data can be defined by numbers of Vs and all are independent to each other….and that a big data may have no the “volume” but they can have other random Vs instead… after all, things that can label somethings as a big data is a technique for big data analysis ?

Hi Khun Tullaya…I agreed that workload is what may be a barrier standardization…I found that there are some tools to help reduce such workload grouping the data…kind of mapping tool or converter

We have medical repatriation guidelines that work well but are a paper-based. The use is a manual without any IT support. The good news is that we are developing an RPA for our DSS and it is designed to be aligned throughout business processing too. The factors that I think will influence the implementation is system quality. The compatibility…[Read more]

For me when we talk about the health system, we cannot deny the fact that the financing part of the system is most important. In UHC, the financing is being criticized, mostly by hospitals on inefficiency financial support. ICD has been using as a claim processing between NHSO and hospitals the same as the insurance billing process in the US.…[Read more]

I am not a clinician or even in a clinical setting. However, I have emotionally involved with that. I used to have a daily routine entering data into the system comparable to EHR. The data entry, at my company, is more than two systems plus spreadsheet occasionally. We were feeling like a machine, putting something into what we don’t know where…[Read more]

Hi…Aj. Saranath…I have some silly question that How big does it called “Big”? If EMRs in hospital can be a big data…whether data stored in a 30-bed hospital can be the big ? For me the 5vs, 7vs, 10vs criteria does not give much a clear cut.

Hi Aj. Saranath….I think even the two words are interchangeably…the word digital is more theoretical or conceptual…as it refers to something about numbers, or new logical opposes to analogical…the old world we are leaving….the term electronics give more feeling of tools that needs some electronics current to do somethings…more…[Read more]

Hi Pyae Phyo Aung…It’s true that communication between health professions and patients is to be imporved by eHealth… it has been a long issue; the doctor is condemned to treat only diseases, not the patients….for me, eHealth may help reduce the feeling of authority in healthcare too.

Hi Patcharapol… I like the networking most….the idea that eHealth is a trend towards more patient-centered medicine. We used to have some ideas like patient-centered, but it’s like patient doing what is asked to do by the health profession. eHealth is like given patients a self-determinant for their health and wellness…hopefully, this can…[Read more]

Hi Pyae Phyo Aung! ….Twitter is most popular among teenage and working-age in Thailand. There are some saying, kinda political things, that “new generation is on Twitter, older is on LINE”. There is also some sub-culture group that does ‘storytelling’ on twitter. Considering big data, sampling methodology to find out qualified tweets for…[Read more]

For me, eHealth is a pinpoint of a paradigm shift in healthcare.

Healthcare used to be part of spiritual or religion because of its ritual and remedies in the primordial and medieval before jumping into scientific revolution by the discovering of the microscope in 1590. The discovery leads to the finding of blood cells in 1670, sterile…[Read more]

I think twitter is one of the famous examples of Big Data implemented on so many health informatics projects. It can represent all characters of big data as follows;

1 Volume: Twitter generates more than 500 million “tweets” a day. A tweet contains around 280 characters or roughly 40 words per tweet. That means twitter create 20,000 million words…[Read more]

Apart from selecting a well-established vendor, an organization should do a regular compliance audit over the selected vendor. In the process of contract development, they should draw a section about the penalty on data breaches in addition to the HIPAA’s to make them be more aware of data protection. Moreover, there should have a section about…[Read more]

1. Have you ever observed a health informatics project in your (other) organization? Please provide a brief introduction.

I have never been directly observing health informatics projects. However, at our company, we are developing support services for wearable medical-alerts devices. The device is an in-house development but not at our business…[Read more]
