I agree that a community-based surveillance system is crucial to screening and monitoring Covid-19. Thailand has more than 1 million health volunteers which are useful for screening and monitoring Covid-19 in communities.

I would like to improve the dengue surveillance system. Currently, dengue surveillance is based on the number of patients visited in hospitals in the country. Due to the syndromes of dengue are similar to other infectious diseases, an ERIZA test or real-time PCR are required to confirm dengue cases which take time to get a report resulted in the…[Read more]

In the national-level surveillance system, I usually utilized the data from R 506 which is from almost of hospitals in the country. In my opinion, R. 506 is a useful surveillance program in terms of risk assessment and research support. For risk assessment, I can observe the unusual situation by doing the data analysis in each disease. However,…[Read more]

The video is very clear and has useful information about motivation. I just know that there are two types of motivation which is extrinsic and intrinsic. Generally, people in the organization may rely on short-term satisfaction [extrinsic type] such as receiving a bonus or promotion and forget long-term satisfaction in improving themselves,…[Read more]

Hybrid style between visionary and coaching style that I would like to be. Visionary style is the way that lead to success of organization. It is focus how organization archived the goal and successful in business. However, sometimes this style creates pressure atmosphere for team members which can leads to stress and this is the same phenomenon…[Read more]

In 2017, DDC announced a master’s scholarship to study abroad. I was interested to apply but my English skills quite bad at that time. I jumped out from my comfort zone and was study English so hard every day preparing for an interview and IELTS test. When the master’s scholarship result was announced, I got that scholarship.

I am a good listeners at home because I don’t have a chance to speak. hope do you know what i means ^^

After I watched ‘The Power of Listening’, I realized that listening is essential than I expected. I started to watch TedTalk about listening and I founded one video that I would highly recommend named “5 ways to listen better” from a speaker named “Julian Treasure”. It is one of the good videos to listen. At the end of the show, he mentioned a…[Read more]

In this case, I will give the data out if: (i) the researcher’s team got the ethics approval from the global or national committee. (ii) The purpose of the research is clear and do not an infringement of the privacy rights of a person or group of persons. (iii) Permission letter from a higher level such as Public Health Minister is issued. (iv)…[Read more]

As a health information professional or data controller, I am not telling anyone about the diagnosis because I need to protect the patient’s personal data so data will be used only for treatment purposes or research only. This data will keep under Thailand Regulation on the protection of personal data (2019) to ensure that personal data will keep…[Read more]

As I mentioned TaRabad-Survey in the previous topic discussion, my division works well with change management as ADKAR model. Firstly, at the beginning of development, Awareness of the change for a better larval survey system was announced though the DDC exclusive meeting and also announced the messages to a potential user that we need them to…[Read more]

This application can point-out the dengue outbreak area in the sub-district level and…[Read more]

Agree!, Training is important in terms of understanding the system Information. Poor communication can lead to system failure as well.

TaRabad-survey is an example of a larva survey application in my organization that successfully implemented nationwide with over 8 thousands user of public health staff and more than over 200-250 daily users. Our team considers that user involvement is an essential aspect so the agile approach would be the easy way to deliver in each part of the…[Read more]

I agree that claiming insurance data would be the matter that needs effective communication.

Firstly, if the hospitals didn’t use the standard of disease classification such as ICD10, they will create their own system for patients’data collection and storing. In this case, the hospital cannot share or communicate between the hospitals at each level. Secondly, the data from the incompatible system cannot integrate and use for surveillance…[Read more]

From my experience, I work at the central organization so I am not familiar with the physician or staff in the hospital, but I heard many doctors and physician said that time-consuming is the main issue for EMR because after the patient visit the doctor, the doctor will fill the data of the patient to the program in the computer which takes time…[Read more]
