Ameen, twitter is a good example of Big Data. It’s really a challenge to analyze the data considering its volume, variability, variety, and validity of the tweets.

Hi Patcharapol, I agree that user satisfaction is the main factor to consider value of an HIT project. “Users” should be considered as various stakeholders related to the project, not only patient side. Interoperability is another issue. We will learn about Health Information Exchange next week.

Hi Tullaya, Most HIT projects were launched with a confidence on the value of improving workflow, reducing medical error (Information & Health parts). But one of the values that we have to really consider is user satisfaction (People part). Many HIT projects are fail due to inappropriately handling people issues.

Hello Chalermphon! Good example! I think the electronic event-based surveillance system could potentially improve the timeliness of data for outbreak investigation (beside the delay in lab result). Timeliness is one of a key for successful outbreak control!

Hi Thanachol, I agreed that for health data we should use private cloud, rather than public cloud for security reason. You also need to consider a trusted company for cloud service.

One characteristic of cloud service that I like is that it can be scale-up. You can rent cloud storage & service per amount of work that you expect. Once the system is getting bigger or has more users, you can scale it up very easily.

Hi Pacharapol! Using IaaS, you still need an IT manager to manage your cloud operating system. I’m not sure if one IT officer in the hospital will be able to do this.

Supawat, sometimes it’s quite difficult to design a system that serve the needs of all stakeholders. This is quite a challenge for project managers (which usually are informaticians) to compromise the needs and the feasibility of the project.

Yes!!! This is the real situation! Many health professionals have no idea what the system that they would like to have. In addition, many IT professionals do not quite understand healthcare structure. This is why we need health informaticians!! And you could see how hard work that health informaticians have to face.
