I had some experiences with the public hospital (tertiary care hospital). They have the IT department responsible for information technology and create new technology for the hospital following the director’s policy. But they cannot perform their work properly. Because they do not understand a lot of medical terms and they do not understand what…[Read more]

In my opinion, the Universal Health Coverage of Thailand and the health care system in the USA are different but it makes sense.
For US citizens, they have to pay for the healthcare service as much as they can afford it, which means the quality of health service will depend on how much they pay for.
But for Thai citizens with UHC programs which…[Read more]

I have just heard about Net Pracharat. It is an interesting project that can improve the quality of living for all Thai citizens especially the people who live in remote areas.

Advantage of using EMR instead of traditional paper-based medical records

It is very beneficial since the hospital information system (HIS) becomes a part of the hospital services. The program can gather important things that doctor and patient should use while they need.

May I share my experience with the confidentiality of the patient’s laboratory information.
I used to work in a hospital’s medical laboratory which performing the test that has to be secured, there are anti-HIV, CD4 and HIV viral load.
The hospital has their procedure for reporting the result of the above testing to the doctor and the patient with…[Read more]

To answer this question, I will not tell her about her’s friend medical condition. It should be available for only the patient and his/her doctor as same as HIV scenario.

I do agree with this answer. It is better to be diagnosed as fast as possible. If I were her husband’s doctor, I would convince him to take his wife to see a doctor soonest possible.

In my opinion, the successful of PACS system is about its design. It has customizable tool that we can customize configurations as we need. Also, it only needs simple process of data entering or the data can be imported by using the excel file. Staffs can work from each other’s computer at the same time. All of the above reason, a user-friendly…[Read more]

I had worked with the Auto-Validation program for reporting the medical laboratory results to the doctor. When the blood is tested by an automated machine in the lab, the results will be sent to the database. The data will be automatically reported to the department or doctor from the laboratory information system (LIS) to the hospital information…[Read more]

I think eHealth is the thing that can help the people in two-part which are service-provider and consumer can communicate and/or making considering together in easier way. Moreover, the data or the activities making within the eHealth application can be easy to access (authorized person), easy for further use of that data.
