1. The title of the paper

Leveraging EHRs for Patient Engagement: Perspectives on Tailored Program Outreach Am J Manag Care. 2017 Jul 1; 23(7): e223–e230.

2. Main objectives of the study

1. Introduce yourself about your background, what kind of work you are doing that related to statistics.

I am a general practitioner (GP) physician in Nakorn Pathom, Thailand. I make and plan treatments to patients based on evidence-based medicine (EBM). I also observe patients for anecdotal data and personalized treatments, to confirm whether…[Read more]

Another confounder is health awareness and ability and wants to manage their own health; that is, desire.

I think it couples with IT iteracy and health iteracy to do the job.

Research Title: Interhospital data-sharing through patient: needs and concerns

1. What data have you, as a doctor, given patients to hold – categorical variable – summarized as proportion
2. Diseases, as a patient – categorical variable- summarized as proportion
3. What data do you as a patient or caregiver, bring to the hospital – categor…[Read more]

Yes, I have tried leading before; and I am prone to being pressured and flustered under pressure – making bad communications and relationships in a larger-than-two group of peoples.

Having to be task oriented; I have to resort to Commandeering style.

However, in a very small group, especially of two, I believe I am more of Coaching style. I…[Read more]

It’s hard to say that I ever stepped out of comfort zone. However, I am prone to unknowingly wandering into an unknown territory. Also, I believed in daredevil-ness.

A having to step out of comfort zone would have to be taking the current degree, Master Degree of Biomedical and Health Informatics, on a totally online course; though, it is still…[Read more]

How to know if I am not listening?

How to know if I really have had listened?

It seems that discretizeDF() is more perfect, but you have to visualize.

Then fix some columns with as.factor(data$row).

1.

In my eyes, it might not be totally equivalent to blockchains, but important things are two things.

– Distributed system and decentralization
– Security, encryption, and authorization

Blockchains are more about decentralized banking, and perhaps Read-Write only databases, without Update or Delete, IMO.

2.

Because of recent news of…[Read more]

About COVID-19 contact privacy, although I might not be a good representative of general public (in Thailand), I feel that problems are two folds.

– Infringement on privacy. Though, it is mostly over-feared, when looked back.
– Hard to keep up consistency on picking up mobile phone app.

Google Map fixed these well, when looked back into.…[Read more]

Biggest challenges are of two forms. Nature of big data itself, and systematic bias.

As for the first topic, which source of data should I use, at what time, and how to filter the data.

About systematic bias, one should consider the context of data makers; and not everyone are equal. For Twitter, there are key influencers, and is more likely…[Read more]

Upon looking at the text content for the Cleveland CSV file, I cannot really find missing data (supposedly ,, two-commas together), so I am confused as well to what is wrong.

PAM method, rather than kmeans can still run, though.

But then, how many clusters do I really need? I asked in another post.

This graph, actually.

Would be nice if I can add hovering dialog box (to tell which point) as well.

Since we are using complete linkage clustering, the distance between “35” and every other item is the maximum of the distance between this item and 3 and this item and 5.

From the link, at the top of PDF can be found — Defining Cluster Distance: The Linkage Function

Complete linkage, which is more popular, takes the maximum distance.

Most updated lab results and vital signs seem to have no substitute, therefore should be easy and best to implement first.

OCR using image technology might be good, if it is accurate. Forget handwriting, it has to be prove-read first. Older printings and PDF might be worth OCR’d — but it is still better to just upload the doc files…

1. There is a lot studies about creating a PHR prototype, why so few of them are implemented?

Whenever there needs to be a collaboration multiple parties (between hospitals, and between caregivers and general public), it is less likely to be implemented.

For example, PHR with hapi-fhir wouldn’t work without an HL7-compliant system, e.g. OpenEMS.…[Read more]

1. Can human population movement apply to the other field of researching?

– Communicable diseases, obviously.
– There might also be issue with immigrated invasive species causing shifts in ecospheres, and possibly problem in living. Not sure how much it affects Non-Communicable disease and lifestyles, though.
– Traffic accidents / road accidents.…[Read more]
