Pisit Saiwangjit

Good day, everyone!!

I’m Pisit, I’m working at certain hospital in Chaingmai as a pharmacist. My scope of works are not relate to analyse any data. Howerver, I had once analyzed the prediction model in the senior project. Evaluating the model performance by using C-index and internal validating model by bootstrapping.

In the context of the drugstore, there are some COVID-19 policies to minimize the COVID-19 transmission
1. Always wearing mask
2. The clients must wear a mask before enter the drugstore
3. If possible, open the all the doors and window to ventilate the air and not using air conditioner

If I remember correctly, there was a issue about the budget distribution of Universal Health Coverage (UHC). UCH only compensates the hospital for 3,600 baht per capita per medical service. If the medical services are charged more than 3,600 baht, the hospital have to cover the exceed fees. I think that is some of the pitfall of the UHC scheme in…[Read more]

I would consider for the data sharing if I was in charge of the data set——may be in my dream tonight, who knew?. The data sharing can be a ruthless weapon or bring massive benefits for the greater good, depending on how you handling it. If you shared the data just to make another number for your dollar bills and what if that shared data con…[Read more]

In my opinion, the EMR brings the massive benefits. We can completely access the data anywhere and anytime through the EMR. We can share the data across departments or buildings with just one-click, instead of running around the hospital just to send to document. It is time-saving. The data is stored in the EMR so we don’t need to carefully…[Read more]

Missing data is the most common problem in every Electronic Health Records (EMRs). The data requirement in the EMR system may help in this situation, we need to fill the required data in order to submit them to the system. Some personnel who inputting the data into system may not aware of the need to submit the data. Hence, raising awareness of…[Read more]

I do agree with the recommendations. It may looks good on the paper but, in my opinion, it is kind of difficult to apply to the real-world setting especially in the context of Thailand. First, megalomaniac and narcissistic are the description of our leader, we had seen that before. So when it comes to push the ‘anti-corruption policy’ into the…[Read more]

I had experienced the improvement of the health system while I did my internship at certain hospital. There was a implementation of the novel chemotherapy ordering system because the former system had many unnecessary processes. The new system was the web-based application so training the personnel to use this system could be a hindrance to the…[Read more]

In my point of view, data replication technology should be included in disaster recovery plan in the context of healthcare setting because the patient with critical conditions needs the information from the database to decide for the treatment. Data replication tends to accelerate the recovery time which helps the aforementioned situation.

From my point of view, the implementation on High Availability technology assures that the patient received the appropriate treatment based on medical record because of the available of the most recent information. It also helps the health care providers make their decision easier if they are able to access to the crucial information in the emergency.

In the context of Thailand, I think we need to strengthen the centralized helplines for COVID-19 information. We don’t have a main helplines with the support from the government so the helplines are various in numbers and hard to find the reliable helpline. Plus, there are also misunderstandings of COVID-19 and misinformation from social media.…[Read more]

I’ve never experienced the CIA issues yet since I’m barely exposed to information system and not working in healthcare organization. But I love to hear more of that from the classmates.

I would like to share some of STEEP factors which affects the healthcare resources in my setting, as a community pharmacist.

Social
According to social distancing, we set up the counter in the front and talk to the patient through plastic screen. There also a panic about COVID-19, so some patient tend to buy the products they believe that would…[Read more]

The International Health Regulations (IHR) had declared Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) of six events since 2007, including H1N1 influenza, Ebola, poliomyelitis, Zika, and COVID-19.[1]

The sudden outbreak of these diseases raises concerns in such an extent because they potentially pose a serious threat in international…[Read more]

Greeting, such a lovely weather on Thursday!. I had once involved in the revision of the chemotherapy order system in the hospital, which I did my internship at, so I’m energetically excited to share some of flowcharts with you all.

The surveillance system which providing inaccurate data can be abysmal. When the data is over-recognition, it may cause the false alarm which require the immediate action to stop the false outbreak. This result in wasting the workforce and fund to take action on the false outbreak, as well as spreading the panic through the outbreak disclosure.…[Read more]

Unknowingly, Information Technology (IT) do assists the outbreak investigation process in such an extent. Electronic Medical Record (EMR) make the data collection and dissemination a lot easier, not to mentioned that it also help in the data analysis process. Data visualization tools make the data more digestible and then put the crucial…[Read more]

I would like to share my understanding and opinion on the tools called ‘data-visualization’. To make a long story short, the data-visualization tools help us to gather the COVID-19 related data in real time and then analyze the data into digestible information, putting the critical information in one page – called ‘Dashboard’. It supports the…[Read more]
