Using ATK to detect cases is a good idea. The challenge is how to get these cases into the reporting system.

Thanks! You can also conduct sentinel surveillance to monitor virus variant pattern overtime.

Thanks for your detailed answer and thoughtful. I like that you also consider social and economic consequences from the unnecessary control measures.

Thanks everyone for sharing your thought! It is undeniable that the EMR is beneficial in healthcare and health practice. However, the EMR should have user friendly UX/UI. The transition phase should be well prepared. Alerts/warnings messages should be appropriately designed. Training and supporting system should be provided.

Yes. I agree that EMR is very useful and important for data utilization. This benefit should be clearly explained to the end users. Also, the EMR interface and functions should meet the user’s needs.

Totally agree with you. Too many alerts could cause alert fatigue and people will later ignore the alert. The transition phase has to be well prepared.

Agree! Doctors commonly use drawing to record important signs&symptoms. The EMR should support this function.

I also heard some physicians said that EMR is one of reasons that make them leaving the job prematurely.

Thanks!

I think EMR should be design to have some benefits to the users, such as some alert/warning, automated calculation. This may encourage the use of the system.

Wow! Great definitions. Thanks!

Interesting examples of big data. Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone for sharing! Very interesting projects. Health IT system or project can be useful in many ways (reduce human errors, improve the utilization of data, reduce time spend in working process, etc.). However, the organization has to manage the change in the organization when the new system is developed and implemented (work load,…[Read more]

It’s interesting that you brought up the issue of inequity. In developing country, we have to consider this issue a lot as not all people can access to a smartphone or sometimes data plan.

Thanks all for sharing!

Agree with you all that beside educating people, the prevention measures should be implemented on the system such as filter emails.

A regular backup is also important to avoid the impact of ransomware. If the hospital has a proper backup, it could retrieve the data and HIS system back in time.

@Anawat- Good point. Most companies have policy and regulations about data security and privacy. However, the policy needs proper enforcement. Staff should be trained regularly about the policy, SOPs, and regulations.

Thanks everyone for sharing!
