Hello Panyada!
Thank you very much for sharing the HFMS surveillance system. It is a very comprehensive presentation and we should all be aware of it, even though the fatality rate for HFMS is relatively low.
I have two thoughts to add after watching your presentation. First, I think the HFMS surveillance system could also be applied to…[Read more]

Both of the Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and President Trump communicated well for the public regarding COVID-19 situation in different ways based on the six principles of CERC.

They both aware of the timeframe during the crisis situation and communicated with their people quickly with the facts where PM Lee presented more about the disease’s r…[Read more]

I agree with my friends from Myanmar that all of the themes that were agreed upon in the paper need to be improved in my country. I would like to focus on the themes of team and techquity, as these will be needed for significant improvement to strengthen emergency preparedness in Myanmar.

Collaboration between stakeholders (policymakers, research…[Read more]

Hello bro! Yes, I am also concerned about the risks of antimicrobial resistance, which can raise international health concerns. We can see these risks in our own country, where many people use antibiotics without any control from the FDA and regulatory bodies. This could lead to the development of new resistant strains of bacteria and mutations. I…[Read more]

The disease outbreaks that have been declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) are as follows;

I would love to mention consistency as an information quality indicator, and portability as part of the system quality indicator that would be brought after integration of the electronic information management system.

Consistency: This Tanzanian ILI sentinel surveillance system evaluation also observed that the data discrepancy was quite high at…[Read more]

As my friends discussed, the application of IT can assist the outbreak investigation process in various ways.
For the first step of verifying the Outbreak and Preparation, I will start the IT usage in setting the definition of the outbreak to describe the excess of normal expectancy. I would consider developing a software or mobile application…[Read more]

I will also definitely apply cloud computing to the hospital’s information system because I believe the benefits of using cloud technology, as in the paper provided, include increasing access to applications and data while enhancing flexibility, and we can manage the infrastructure based on the needs of the clinical setting for better patient c…[Read more]

In this case, I also completely agree with applying the Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials (factsheets), which can be mainly effective for the population groups in remote areas where more stigmatization would be expected.

I also like the data visualization tools for the public health response. The dashboard was apparently used to enhance COVID-19 surveillance and response, including in Myanmar, where the Ministry of Health and Sport (MOHS) and other private sectors developed the COVID-19 surveillance dashboard using PowerBI and Google Data Studio. This is great in…[Read more]

After learning the article that presented digital technologies in public health response, I would love to discuss the “Chatbot” here, although I am of the opinion that it is not the most appropriate tool for COVID-19 surveillance and response.
However, the chatbot can be utilized in various ways to assist with the management of the COVID-19 pan…[Read more]

1. How can surveillance help to detect and control the disease?
Through the systematic collection, analysis, and dissemination of health data, the surveillance will help to identify disease outbreaks with early detection, monitor the spreading and trend of the disease, and enable rapid response. Surveillance data can be used to assess the…[Read more]

There have been a number of security and system attacks by viruses and malware on my computer, especially since I started using the laptop and mobile devices. The one I remember well is copying the files from the internet shops to my laptop through a USB drive, where the virus came across my laptop and infected it. This infected a lot of the…[Read more]

As my classmates discussed, I will also definitely not click on the clean button to remove those viruses. I would be cautious of the possible attacks of scams and spyware that will steal my personal information, destroy files, and slow down my computer’s performance. Instead, I will block links in the pop-up window, check and update the firewall o…[Read more]

I think this will be important to balance the potential benefits of the research with the principles of ethics and privacy.
Should you give the data out?
If you want to provide the data to them, what and how will you do it?

We should provide the data to the research team but we should make sure the ethical considerations are as follows;
The…[Read more]

This is quite difficult to be the complete consideration for the ethical dilemma, my opinion in this scenario will be as below;

What should you do?
As a health information professional, can you tell your friend?
Can you interfere with other people’s or family issues?

In the aspect of health information professionals, this is sure I will try to s…[Read more]

By referring to the system in my previous topic discussion, I think our organization managed the change to a greater extent. To be in line with consideration the ADKAR model is as follows;
Awareness: Targeted communication was conducted from the central level to the township level through different kinds of approaches. This improved the access of…[Read more]

I am going to discuss the electronic Logistics Management Information System (eLMIS) that was experienced in one organization. The use of it is about the management of health commodities throughout the townships’ health centers by the application of mSupply software. In my view, this system implementation provided certainly not complete f…[Read more]

This is clear as the dashboard for data visualization plays an important role in healthcare for several reasons. I think the most important one is to provide insights into data-driven decision-making for healthcare providers by allowing them to quickly grasp patterns and abnormalities for better patient care. I would also think the dashboard…[Read more]
