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.

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.

Hello Wannisa, yes, forgetting your login session is one of the most common ignorance of the end users. Additionally, when you are responsible for handling of sensitive data, it is important that no one is looking at your screen when you are logging in.

Hello Tanaphum, yes, Phishing is still one of the most common attacking method used by hackers. Even people who are in the field of IT can sometimes be a victim of such attack, for example, attackers using faoebook.com instead of an official domain facebook.com.

Yes, Aye, many people are still using unlicensed and torrented version of software, which can lead to major breaches of their sensitive data and have a serious consequences on the person as well as the company. It is important to use licensed software and regularly update them.

Thank you Aye for highlighting the significance of having a backup plan. Yes, it was a great plan to have a backup as a disaster recovery. Your experience is a good example of how a backup and a recovery plan saves a system for having further consequences.

Hello Cing, yes, the most responsible team would be the cybersecurity team along with IT staff of the company in assessing the risk and vulnerabilities. Regular training and capacity building can also enhance the recognition of different attack scenarios.
