According to the STEEP analysis that related to healthcare resources during the pandemic.

Social:
– Decisions for seeing the doctor may be deferred until the disease is worsening

According to PM Lee Hsien Loong and President Donald Trump address on the COVID-19 situation
1. Be first
PM Lee Hsien Loong: He gives a formal speech to the public quite early after outbreak (2 weeks).
President Donald Trump: He gives a formal speech to the public quite late after the outbreak (March 11), which is the day WHO officially states the…[Read more]

In my opinion, teleconsultation technology still has room for development, as you can see in the period of high contracted cases, which overwhelm the public health system. The home isolation strategies had been used; however, this strategy had a problem because some patients’ symptoms were rapidly progressing, and the patient could not promptly r…[Read more]

There are six events of PHEIC that are a formal declaration by WHO, which everybody already mentions ( H1N1 swine flu, polio, Ebola, Zika, Kivu Ebola, COVID-19 ).

These outbreaks had raised concerns because of their impact not only on public health locally but also the public health worldwide, so that it may need immediate international…[Read more]

To be an early morning person is worthy. Two years ago, I listened to the podcast “mission to the moon” about how good that early morning person can be, which fascinates me. In the past, I usually get up around 6.30 am, and I rushed to work every day. So I decided to change my routine morning by waking up earlier, around 5.30 am. As a result, I…[Read more]

The inaccurate data report will affect many aspects of the disease surveillance system, such as lack of exact incidence and prevalence of disease, misinterpretation of the burden of illness, outbreak pattern/magnitude/time trend/outlies/exposure, or incubation period the disease, etc. Therefore the inaccurate data report will lead to inappropriate…[Read more]

Information technology can implement into the process of an outbreak investigation in many aspects. Firstly, an information system promotes systematically collected data and records information. In addition, data integration and system interoperability facilitate field investigators and central office staff to access the data on time, which is a…[Read more]

In my opinion, digital contact tracing for COVID-19 is the most exciting technology. This technology would facilitate identification and isolation to prevent the spreading of the outbreak by using the Bluetooth-enabled smartphone. In brief, the proximity detection apps will emit the signal to a nearby device to record contact events, and all this…[Read more]

– How can surveillance help to detect and control the disease?
Surveillance can detect and control disease, especially COVID-19, in many ways. Firstly, surveillance (passive) identifies new severe acute respiratory syndrome cases that are admitted to the hospital. After that, they realized this could be the new disease outbreak by epidemiologic i…[Read more]

I would not provide the data to those research team because they actually require the individual data, which will violate personal privacy according to privacy rights. If the research team is willing to do the research, they must clarify the research proposal for the institutional review board committee (IRB). If I have to provide the data to the…[Read more]

According to this scenario, this situation is a dilemma. You are in the condition of dual loyalty; you do not want to break the patient’s confidentiality, however; this risk might be harmful to your friend.

From my point of view, if I were a health information professional, I would not tell my friend and would not interfere with other family i…[Read more]

From my point of view, change management of my organization that I have already mentioned in the previous topic discussion, I think they managed properly, even though it is not successful. According to ADKAR model

Awareness: They communicated to us regularly about the change that was going to happen, why we needed to change, and the benefit for…[Read more]

An example of the system in my organization was eHIS which is the electronic medical record (EMR) that our organization would like to adopt into inpatient workflow management. However, eHIS for the inpatient department could not be adopted entirely or successfully because of many factors.

The main factor would be the operation and design of the…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing. I also agree with Anawat; however, LPH has shown a great organized covid vaccination system.

Thank you for sharing. This application could greatly help the psychiatric patient and the stressed person, especially during high-stress lifestyles and pandemic situations. It allows us to get much more closer to a psychiatrist than we think.

From my point of view, although EMR has many advantages for health informatics exchange, I agree that EMR might be one of the causes of the burnt-out of a physician, primarily when they are not used to typing or EMR interface is too complex. I heard many physicians complain that they have to spend more time or focus on using the EMR rather than…[Read more]

If the hospital did not use ICD 10, there would be no standardized classification of disease, and it will affect many aspects; for example,
– Health ministry could not impose a proper health policy because of lacking epidemiological information.
– Lack of standard terms for reporting and analyzing disease.
– Could not compare…[Read more]

Example of clinical decision support in my workplace which are
1. Alerts system for laboratory report, when the blood test results are out of normal range, they will show us in red instead of black text. The other alert system would be the notification if the patient received high alert drugs such as warfarin and the potential for other medicines…[Read more]
