I agree with your choices of dissemination tools by using Electronic health records (EHR) to get the information about monkeypox out to the public. Using Electronic health records (EHR) is a great way to make sure that healthcare providers have the most accurate and up-to-date information to identify and treat cases of monkeypox.

For this discussion, I would like to suggest the “Epi Info”
“Epi Info” is a free and open-source software developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The software is designed to support epidemiologists, public health professionals, and researchers in various aspects of their work. It provides tools and modules that are…[Read more]

1. How can surveillance help to detect and control the disease?
Surveillance can help to detect and control monkeypox disease in several ways:
Identifying cases or clusters of infection early
Monitoring the spread of the disease over time as well as able to identifying trends
Assessing the impact of the disease
These benefits of surveillance can…[Read more]

This is my opinion for this scenario.

Should you give the data out?
Yes, I considered providing the data to the research team. However, it must be done by obeying ethical principles, terms of use, and data anonymization to protect the personal information in the database.

How do you not violate any of the General Principles of Informatics…[Read more]

These are my opinions and solutions to this scenario.

What should you do?
In this situation, the most moral thing to do is to maintain patient confidentiality and not tell anyone without their consent.

As a health information professional – can you tell your friend?
No, I cannot tell my friend. As a health information professional, I need t…[Read more]

In my opinion, my organization managed the change properly when considering by based on the ADKAR model here is why:
Awareness: The organization and healthcare staff are aware of the need for a new system based on IT technology.
Desire: The organization and healthcare staff want to initiate and implement the new system that can support the newborn…[Read more]

For this discussion, I would like to bring up the “Newborn Screening on Web Application” again.

The main factors that make the newborn screening system successful or fail such as Data, Cost, Operation, Design, and People can be explained below:
Data: The system be accurate and up-to-date. This data is used to identify newborns who may be at risk…[Read more]

For this discussion, I would like to discuss about “OutSystems”, a low-code development platform. Although OutSystems is not in the traditional sense, it can be used as a Decision Support System (DSS) from their tools and modules to create applications that support complex decision-making activities such as healthcare tasks.

In our hospital, we…[Read more]

In my opinion, there are several aspects that are negatively affected if hospitals in a country do not use the ICD standard.
Quality of Care: The absence of standardized coding could impact patient safety and the quality of care as the absence of ICD could hinder the data quality and negatively affect patient care.
Surveillance: The ICD is used by…[Read more]

In my opinion, I think the paper points out important issues caused by EHR since complaints about using software are not uncommon within the healthcare industry. Physician burnout from poorly implemented EHR is a serious problem that can lead to negative consequences that can affect the process of the healthcare system.

I have heard complaints…[Read more]

I’m impressed with your presentation of the “SkinX” application. You clearly explained the purpose and benefits of the app. Also, I liked how you highlighted the eHealth domain of the app and its potential to improve health outcomes and services by making dermatological care to be more convenient and accessible. Great job!

Overall, this presentation is well-organized, informative, and easy to understand. The presentation clearly explains the benefits of TeleRehab, such as cost-effectiveness, improved recovery outcomes, and enhanced satisfaction. In my opinion, I would like to suggest that “Health in our hand” can also be included in the eHealth domain as it is…[Read more]

Yes, absolutely. We customized features in the platform to fit the hospital’s specific needs in the same way as a traditional programming language. Moreover, the Lowcode platform has a “Role” feature that we can easily configure the user to interact with the platform based on their specific needs and tasks.

For dealing with integration c…[Read more]

In my opinion, eHealth refers to the intersection of digital technologies and healthcare that serves as a bridge between healthcare providers and patients to contribute the healthcare accessibility and quality. It involves the integration of three key disciplines.
Firstly, information and communication technologies (ICT) are used for enhancing…[Read more]

I would like to suggest the “principle of least privilege (PoLP)” as an additional preventive measure. This approach only allows those who are required to access data for their tasks, which can avoid granting unnecessary permissions and limit the possibility of data breaches.

As the attack is caused by SQL injection, I would suggest “Web Application Firewalls (WAF)” as a preventive measure. The WAF can be used to filter and monitor incoming traffic to applications, which can detect and block common attack patterns, including SQL injection attempts. Furthermore, WAF can protect against unauthorized access as well as…[Read more]

In my opinion, we can use preventive measures such as the “Zero trust security model”. It is a method that assumes that threats may exist on both inside and outside the network, which has strict identity verification and monitoring of user and device behaviour. In summary, this approach is about ensuring that access is only granted on a…[Read more]

I think Electronic Health Records (EHR) data would be considered as “Big Data”, since it is digital records of patient’s health information, such as medical history, diagnoses, lab results, etc. In my opinion, EHR data have the following big data characteristics:

5Vs characteristics (Volume, Velocity, Variety, Veracity, and Value)
Volume: The…[Read more]

Have you ever observed a health informatics project in your (other) organization? Please provide a brief introduction.
Yes, I have observed and contributed to a health informatics project. The project is the Newborn screening on a Lowcode platform. My hospital normally operates Newborn screening to identify various disorders in newborns on…[Read more]
