Hello Cing, thank you for sharing “MyanCare” eHealth project with us. Yes, I believe too that MyanCare has a great potential to improve the patients’ outcomes by allowing them to store their data with ease and being able to share with healthcare providers as well as their social community. Having a feature like social connection can foster more…[Read more]

Hello Wannisa, thank you for sharing “POWER2DM” project with us. It is a great ehealth project that covers all three domains of eHealth. By using this application, users can have more control on their DM with shared decisions by themselves and their healthcare providers. This shared decision making process interests me. In addition to better…[Read more]

Hello Alex, yes, your presentation focuses on “Data Enabling Health” domain of eHealth. By having an integrated HIS Management system, patients can gain more tailored care and timely measures. However, it would be great if other two domains of eHealth can incorporate in this eHealth project: Health in Our Hand, and Interaction with Health.

Hello Siriluk, thank you for sharing your definition of eHealth. Yes, we should use various tools like wearables to track and get informed messages and insights that are data-driven.

Hello Alex, yes, it is good to incorporate healthcare providers in the domains of eHealth. Additionally, eHealth should also incorporate, like you mentioned, various factors like insurance policies and so on.

Yes Wannisa, I agree with you that ehealth should be bringing together of three domains technology, communication, and information, instead of having main focus on technology.

Hello Wannisa, thank you for sharing example. I agree with you that EHRs represent the characteristics of big data that is expanding and hard to process in a timely manner with conventional tools.

Hello Aye, thank you for sharing your ideas and experiences on 2015 election process. Yes, I agree with you that census is an example of big data that is expanding periodically which contains variables that are hard and complex to analyze in some periods.

Hello Cing, it is a great analogy to compare the evolution of human with the evolution of big data characteristics. It is an interesting read indeed.

Hello Aye, yes, it is a great idea to start the project at the data-entry level by eliminating workload burden and duplicates. Additionally, using the applications that can save and upload when the system becomes online is a great way to overcome internet difficulty issues. Yes, it is challenging to work with a team of multiple backgrounds but…[Read more]

Hello Wannisa, yes, I agree with you that collecting data on paper and doing analysis manually consumes a lot of time. Introducing digitalized system can lead to many benefits that can assist them in providing assistances to those in need such as saving time, saving storage space, and etc. Even though their donations are limited, they can request…[Read more]

Hello Cing, you have highlighted the significance of having “data standards” in migrating data from an old system to a new one. I agree with you in your statement that having standardized data can assist in exchanging information. Additionally, yes, change is difficult in the case of implementing such a system but we can overcome this by building…[Read more]

Currently, most hospitals in Myanmar especially in the border areas do not have the capacity of use Clinical Decision Support System. But some clinics and hospitals use Data Dashboard to guide their decision on operational management as well as disease preparedness of the hospital. For example, one hospital uses trend analysis using Power BI that…[Read more]

Many hospitals use the ICD standards for the classification of disease diagnosis because it has benefits like simple use compared to more complex coding system like SNOMED CT, being a standardized system developed and maintained by WHO, and its usage in public health surveillance and monitoring.

So, if the hospitals stopped using ICD standards,…[Read more]

Electronic Medical Record has been a great tool for health information exchange, but it has also increased the physician burnout for the following reasons as outlined by Muhiyaddin et al. (2022). They are EHR’s poor design, increased workload such as EHR’s documentation and related tasks leading to overtime, alert fatigue. These burnouts are…[Read more]

Thank you for your suggestion, Wannisa.

Hello Wannisa, yes, scalability and cost effectiveness are other important features of using cloud servers. And PaaS can assist, not overburden the single or limited IT resource, in developing a platform where our needs can be customized. On other hand, even though IaaS can enhance our data security, it will be a burden to manage for our limited IT staff.

Hello Aye, yes, using cloud server has many advantages over physical server in this case. I agree with you that PaaS is a great choice in this case, because the single IT staff can manage the system without having to worry about underlying infrastructure. Additionally, like you mentioned, we have to consider other things like the type of database…[Read more]

Hello Cing, yes, I agree with you that having ease in maintenance and setting up of a cloud server is a big benefit for the hospital that has a limited IT resource. Additionally, thank you for providing options like GCP, and AWS for your IaaS choice. But IaaS would be a big work load to the single IT staff, if he has to fully control the whole system.
