Oh yes! I couldn’t think of that, which I actually use everyday!
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful example.

Basically when I first heard “eHealth”, I think of IT in improving human health as well. The concept mentioned in the paper is pretty covered all.

I agree with you that by preventing attackers, we have to be careful in both physical and technical ways.

Your eHealth project is really hit the point!

Right now data doesn’t link between organization and system. This couldn’t provide necessary information to healthcare providers in timely manner. And as you mentioned, patients cannot remember that their medications history.

I think by implementing this project, it will satisfy not only patients but…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing this contraceptive pills dispensing project in depth.

I have not involved in contraceptive dispensing system but I agree with you that this project is not only beneficial for preventing unwanted pregnancy but it also potentiates roles of pharmacist in society. By having pharmacists counsel case by case depend on individual…[Read more]

I think we have to look deep into pros and cons. Personally, I see pros of EMR over cons. Since data can be shared among organizations and can be accessible anytime regardless where you are.

I have heard many complaints from physicians on using EMR, and yes, most of them are in older generation. I think to avoid and reduce this problem, EMR…[Read more]

Definition defined by CDC, the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is designed to promote international comparability in the collection, processing, classification, and presentation of mortality statistics.

If the hospital don’t use ICD standard, this would effect many organization as consequences. Since ICD provides standard in c…[Read more]

Big data includes patient’s data, research study, genomics sequencing data, public records, wearable divide data, search engines, electronic medical records (EMR), smart phones, and social medias.

Characteristics of data, particularly EMR, could fit 10V as following:
– Volume: EMR generated everyday so the quantity of data to be collected and s…[Read more]

As thematic analyses, there are overlapped in 3 domains for eHealth:
1. Health in our hands: health of individuals which can be self-monitoring, tracked, and informed.
2. Interacting for health: by using IT as part of counseling and interacting between patients and healthcare providers, or among stakeholders.
3. Data enabling health: to use health…[Read more]

I used to work at a hospital particularly in Clinical Oncology Pharmacy and Sterile Compounding Department. Most of oncologists are familiar in writing chemotherapy order regimen as well as progress note. However, chemotherapy and biotherapy are considered as highly toxic and hazardous drugs to cytotoxic classification.

This kind of drugs need…[Read more]

Yes, I agree with you. Dashboard is a very good method in representing and summarizing data not only to healthcare providers but also population. Well designed dashboard could make one understand by just glimpsing at display.

I agree with you that we should strengthen security protocol and training.
By having an automatically early detection of suspicious emails is the first step to prevent phishing. However, to have password change policy every 90 days and two-factor authentication system are additional methods in verifying and identifying individuals.

I previously thought of PaaS as well since we can customize the application but I think of availability of manpower in this scenario so I finally decided to go with SaaS instead.

Your topic is so fasinating because the error basically comes from preparation process.

I personally think, the company should retrain all staff involves in these processes as well as focus on HIPPA regulation. In addition, root cause analysis and corrective action and preventive action should be performed in order to prevent the error in the future.

Your answer covers the whole I could think of. Yes, I agree with you particularly “software fragility”.

I think we should get back to re-evaluate the security design of the software. If IT has well developed design and tested the product, before launching, we are able to see the weak point and gap of the program. To prevent cyberattack, I think…[Read more]

I think the same! The main three concepts, you mentioned, are very crucial in deciding which kind of server is the most appropriate. And yes, I agree with SaaS too.

If I could propose to the executive board, I would go with cloud server rather than server. Since the hospital has only one IT officer. To develop new physical server is costly, time consuming, and need more manpower. In addition, security is very important in protecting privacy and confidentiality data of patient, because patient has to provide…[Read more]

There are many possible ways that attacker could attack security system.

First, I would think of basic way by stealing one’s password. For example, attacker can steal one password by looking at the one, who’s logging in account. Or if a person who is in organization, attacker might see written password attached on desks or computers.

S…[Read more]
