If the hospitals do not use the ICD standard, the data systems would be fragmented and very difficult to integrate and so to interpret country disease prevalence and health status. If we need all disconnected systems to communicate and talk to each other, very expensive and handy middleware will be needed.
For health information exchange (HIE),…[Read more]

Yes, I agree with this finding. From my own experience and perspectives from my peers, using EMR can lead to physical and mental burnout while it gives many advantages at the same time.

From EMR user point of view
Poor internet connection – It is very distressing when the connection is down as workflow are disrupted and delayed especially d…[Read more]

E-health is the application of any means of digital technology to improve the overall health status of populations. In this concept, e-health enables us from various aspects to promote health and wellbeing.

Hi Khaing, I have the same idea with you. Agree with you that by analyzing big dataset, we can personalized treatment for patients to improve outcome at a much reduced cost.

Thank you for sharing. Agree with you that data visualization helps oversee the status/system and so assist in decision-making.

Thank you for sharing Ko Aung. Agree with you that real-time data can smoothen work flow across departments, including supply chain management as you mentioned.

I think EHR data from hospitals is big data. Because it has detailed information about patient’s profile, lab results, imaging results, medication history, follow-up information, admission information, allergy status, medical billings, surgical procedures and detailed progress notes. All the data is interlinked, and it can be retrieved anytime t…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing, William. Poor internet access in hard to reach areas and staff’s literacy are challenging issues in my organization too. I have learnt from your experience that close supervision and monthly coaching are necessary to improve data quality.

Thank you Ko Aung for sharing your experience. It is very informative to know the application of digital platform to enhance health outcomes for patients with HIV. May I know what are the measures taken to ensure the information security and confidentiality?

Thank you for sharing your experience. Resistance to change is a common challenge in digital transformation. Thank you for highlighting the importance of regular meetings between health professionals and developers to avoid communication gap. I totally agreed with you that continuous communication flow should be established to ensure everyone is…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing your experience ama. Trained staff turnover and poor internet access is also an issue in my organization.

Have you ever observed a health informatics project in your (other) organization? Please provide a brief introduction.
I have observed and operated in a private hospital effort to implement EMR system. When I worked as a medical officer 2 years ago, our hospital initiated using Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system using openMRS platform. It has…[Read more]

Thank Kevin for you review. In addition to the preventive measures you mentioned, I think Data encryption, network and data segmentation can help reduce the risk of data breach.

Hi Mio, Thank you for your case and your opinion on this case. I think multifactor authentication method can help reduce the risk. Also, network segmentation as you mentioned is a good point to note for digital security. Additionally, regularly updating the software, OS and medical devices should be practiced in health care system.

Thank you for sharing the case and your point of view. In my opinion, role-based access control, data segmentation/modular architecture and enforcing customer awareness about cybersecurity can also be done in this case.

Thank you for sharing the case and prevention measures to prevent data breach. I think the following measures may also help prevent data breach-
1. Regular audit trails and identify vulnerabilities.
2. Encryption of identifiers information.
3. Centralized logging monitoring for all access activities.

Thank you for sharing your point of view. It can be a more feasible approach to start with SaaS and then move to PaaS for long-term use. I have one query. Can the data from SaaS be transferred and integrated to PaaS?

Thank you for sharing, Mio. I do not know about the AI-driven coding before. Thank you for mentioning the free platforms and I must have a look and try them out.
