Yes Jen, I agree with you. User’s attitude toward the system really affect whether the system is operational or not.

Hi Salin. I agree that regular feedback loops and continuous coaching is mandatory for a system setup.

1.) Which single design limitation most threatens valid estimates of sensitivity and representativeness? How would you address it within six weeks?

Relying only on passive facility-based reporting threatens sensitivity and representativeness.
Within 6 weeks,
My plan is to combine passive and active surveillance methods.
Firstly, I will select…[Read more]

Verification and Preparation
• Establish the existence of an outbreak: Using National/ District level surveillance database can help collection, collation, analysis and use of data for disease surveillance for detecting abnormal trends.
For e.g.
Global level – WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), Pro…[Read more]

One technology I like most is telemedicine.

How it works: Telemedicine lets doctors and healthcare workers check on patients remotely using video calls, phone calls, or secure messages. Patients can tell their symptoms, share some health info, and get advice without going to the clinic. Many telemedicine systems connect with electronic health…[Read more]

How can surveillance help to detect and control the disease?

As dengue is mosquito-borne infection, transmitted from person to person through the bite of Aedes mosquito, surveillance and control is important.
Using data from surveillance –
1. Preventive measures – We can enforce preventive measures to reduce mosquitoes breed in the e…[Read more]

I agree with your point. Hybrid cloud could be a good choice for health care industries.

I would choose cloud computing due to the following reasons:
Elasticity (access to resources) – can dynamically allocate resources as needed.
Scalability – with cloud storage, we can scale up and adopt new technologies and services easily.
Remote access – cloud services ensure the availability and authorized accessibility of data wherever and w…[Read more]

Thank you so much for the encouragement, Ajarn. I will take that in mind and utilized sequence of ADKAR model throughout the implementation process. :):)

•Should you give the data out?
No. I must not give the individual data out.
•How do you not violate any of the General Principles of Informatics Ethics.
I cannot give the data with details at individual level. I must follow the Declaration of Helsinki and provide only data without personal identification after the relevant informed con…[Read more]

•What should you do?
We should do nothing as the patient has a fundamental right to privacy.
•As a health information professional – can you tell your friend?
No. The person has full control over his own medical data, and medical professionals and informaticians must ensure that all protected health information (PHI) are handled with confi…[Read more]

Thank for sharing Kevin. I have learnt that series of meetings and orientations may need to make staff aware and motivated about the system change.

Thanks Mio for sharing the implementation of data validation system. It is great that staff are already motivated about the system before implementation.

Thanks Ama for sharing about Integra and their system change management process.

Thank you Jen 🙂 🙂 We hope so too.

I would like to discuss the digital HIS transformation plan in our organization. I think I can use the ADKAR model for the system change.
When I thought about the need for system change, I focused on convincing only the senior management team and our HSS members, not the other staff.
However, I realized that the success of digital HIS system…[Read more]

Thanks Ama for sharing. This is very insightful and really sad to know the suspension. I want to know which training topics are included in OHWA as I am really interested about the interconnection of human, animal, and environmental health.

Thanks for sharing Ko Aung. It is really insightful to know the use case of machine learning to make the efficient workflow.

Noted with thanks Ko Aung. I am also curious about the feasibility using DHIS2 for individual data collection, as one of the options of digital HIS for my organization is DHIS2.

We are in the development phase of digital HIS in our organization. We have not deployed the system yet.
I think main factors affecting the development are:

People – As we need people effort to plan and implement the system, I think people is the main factor. Therefore, we have to convince stakeholders including organization leaders and staff a…[Read more]
