For developing a disaster recovery plan for our organization –
• Context and risk analysis – using SWOT and PESTLE framework
• Regular risk assessment and document mitigation plan regularly, including all stakeholders
• Risk grading – calculate scoring based on Likelihood, Impact and Restoration time
• Define risk metrics – define RTO, R…[Read more]

Health system challenges are:
Communicable disease – like Covid 19, TB continues to spread around the world, especially developing countries. Nations respond through vaccine program, hygiene promotion and setting up disease surveillance systems.
Non- communicable disease – DM, hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases are rising too. Cou…[Read more]

If we implement the High Availability technology in our hospital information system (HIS),

Operational Continuity – HA ensures seamless workflow (Such as admissions, consultations, laboratory requests, prescriptions) without interruption
Improved Efficiency – There is no manual redundancy (like switching to paper-based system during the sys…[Read more]

It was a really big change, Jen. Congratulations!!!

Currently, we are trying to implement a system change in our organization. We started introducing digital HIS last month. The first thing I focused on was helping everyone see why this change was necessary. I showed the difference between our paper-based data and the digital HIS—especially in terms of accuracy and completeness—so they could cle…[Read more]

It is very impressive how you managed system change and considered all aspects of operation: Human, Organization and System. It was one of the major steps that you introduced a simplified digital form and a high-speed data-entry interface. I had also experienced system change in my previous work. At that time, we have to manually type legacy data…[Read more]

Personally, I have not experienced breach of confidentiality, integrity or availability of information system.
I would like to discuss a case scenario that happened in Medstar health system that affected availability of information system.

What happened?
Medstar health system is the Columbia-based health system, which runs 10 hospitals and…[Read more]

Hello Ma Wah, thank you for your suggestion Ama. It is insightful to think more broadly regarding stakeholders category.

Yeah, William. Malaria is still a burden especially in Southern Shan State.

Effective communication is key for open, honest and respectful communication. In my work, I put a lot of effort into communicating. As we are working as a team, seamless information flow is very important to smoothen workflow, to avoid conflict and to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Firstly, I clearly define a communication channel with a…[Read more]

Thank you, Siriluk, for mentioning real-time data reporting, GIS mapping and regular data quality checks. It is very insightful and I would add them into my surveillance system to be more comprehensive. 🙂

Thank you, Jen, for your comment. Myanmar currently has no specific national policy for data sharing, but related laws such as the Electronic Transactions Law (2004, amended 2021), Telecommunications Law (2013), Privacy Law (2017), and Cybersecurity Law (2025) provide partial guidance. We will continue to comply with these existing policies while…[Read more]

Thank you ma Hteik Htar for the presentation. It is very practical and contextually appropriate. I would like to know one thing. Is there any formal data sharing policy currently adopted for sharing data with different stakeholders?

Hi Kevin. Thank you for the presentation. I am really interested in data interoperability, as it is one of the challenging issues for most of the information system. I would like to know is there any method to measure data interoperability?

Thank you Ama Wah. I learned a lot from your well-structured, comprehensive presentation. Malaria remains a health crisis in our area and I have always wanted to develop a malaria surveillance system.
I would like to know, is there any practice of data sharing among Thailand with neighboring countries like Myanmar and Laos for cross-border surveillance?

I use a mix of leadership style in my work. As I am leading a project with demanding changes and improvements of systems and people, I need to use most of the leadership style depending on the situations.
Firstly, I use Affiliative style when I believe they are feeling down or distressed, I made a caring community with the team and listen to…[Read more]

Yes I agree Jen. PM Lee took account of every citizens including health care workers and he tried to reduce the burden of health care system.

Yes, I agree. President Trump’s statements were quite assumption without evidence.

Comparing the speech of PM Lee and President Trump, I think both are good communicators. Both illustrated that they would do the best for their nations. They are calm and credible for citizens.

Regarding PM Lee – I prefer his speech because he do not assume or claim crisis, instead he provided facts, real situations and academic evidence. He s…[Read more]
