Since I work as an IPD pharmacist (part-time) in a private hospital, I have not been much involved in seeing the complaints from physicians. However, as I observed from the first period that the hospital tried to implement the EMR, instead of paper-based, some physicians insisted on collaborating as they took more time to prescribe the orders…[Read more]

I agree with your definition of the health solution using technology and data exchange. The eHealth implementation is to improve health-related services for both patients and healthcare providers.

I agree that eHealth, as documented in an article by T.Shaw, et al., is divided into 3 domains; health in our hands, interacting for health, and data enabling health.

In my opinion, eHealth is more than just about health and technology. It is an intervention to improve health care physically, mentally, and socially for both patients and…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing. Online marketing is another Big Data that we can see in our daily life and it surely fits the 5Vs characteristics of Big Data.

Talking about Big Data, one example that I could think of is data in Media and Entertainment. In daily activities with numerous digital gadgets, social media platforms generated a large amounts of data, such as in Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, Spotify, Amazon, etc.
In this discussion, I would like to pick up Netflix as an example of the…[Read more]

Have you ever observed a health informatics project in your (other) organization? Please provide a brief introduction.
When I was working in a clinical research organization, I have experience in various study designs. One of them was to investigate the use of the investigational product (medical device), to see the behavior, satisfaction, and any…[Read more]

Interesting! I agree with your prevention method of data breach attacks. Moreover, I would suggest having a regular cybersecurity test and identifying system vulnerabilities. The weakest point is a target point for the attacker. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing. In addition to the preventive methods above, the organization can develop a plan and policy regarding cybersecurity. The IT team may run regular security testing by re-evaluating users’ access and privileges and identifying new system vulnerabilities.

Such an interesting project! I used to work as CRA and at that time my organization still experiencing a manual search and sometimes redundancy in signing the agreements as well. This implementation is very useful, reducing costs for multiple signs and saving time. Thank you for sharing.

Education is a key!
Thanks for comprehensive information.To prevent Phishing, user should be able to identify a Phishing e-mail by training user on how to spot a phishing email. Additionally, installation of the Anti-Phishing add-ons or Data Security Platform to detect the signs of an attack would be another way to prevent this phishing attack.

I also agree with your point of view on using PaaS model as it is more flexible in design and management of the application. However, we need to ensure that our IT officer is capable to write a code and build our own web-based application, so I decided to start a pilot with SaaS, then later the development could be done with the implementation of…[Read more]

From this scenario, I would like to propose the implementation of a cloud server rather than a physical server which I expected to develop a web-based application for patient appointments. By computing a cloud server, it can save the cost of upfront investment/ infrastructure, provide data more secure with backup and recovery processes, easily…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing an informative perspective. I like the way you provide the idea of two different groups of attacks. And I agree with all of your thoughts. It is important that the user should be responsible and educated on the awareness of potential risks and implements preventive measurement.

The following are some possible means that an attacker/hacker could use to conduct a security attack.
1. Physical attack, such as
– Using a weak password that is easy to guess
– Unaware of username/password record keeping that the hacker can easily attack.
– Unaware of a user that does not log out of the system once away.
2. Malware,…[Read more]

As all Thai citizens know, the most popular applications which were created by the government during COVID-19 pandemic are MOR-Chana, Thai-Chana and MOR-Prompt.
To be honest, at first as a user, I am the one who did not download all 3 applications on my device as the similar names are confusing and I do not understand the real benefit and a need…[Read more]

I agree with skill you mentioned about data privacy and security knowledge. Since we are working with the health data, the data confidentiality are mainly concerns.

As a pharmacist with a clinical research background, the following knowledge and skills are needed to gain and get the overall concept and ensure the project works as planned.

– Psychological communication is the key point in every management and teamwork. Informatician is like the center of a team. We need to have good communication to bring all…[Read more]

If I am a director of a hospital, I would move the hospital’s information system to a cloud computing, as the cloud technology can save cost, be easy to access, provide maintenance/support by vendor, better security and back-up/disaster recovery.

However, data privacy and security are mainly concerns. I am going to perform an evaluation of c…[Read more]

Totally agree with everyone.

I will not click on a “clean” button to kill those viruses. This pop-up sounds weird to me. I believe that clicking on a “clean” button may allow threats attack to my computer, unauthorized use of data, or data theft. I would immediately close that web browser, restart the computer, and run a new web browser.
