Air pollution is becoming the future threat for many developing countries due to growing heavy industries and lack of relation. And I think it could potentially be one of public health emergency because it has impact over a significant amount of population. Public health statistic report that population has suffered from respiratory symptoms more…[Read more]

If there are discrepancies between reports from hospital and national reporting system, it could led to problematic management as if centralized government will be slow to recognize some diseases that affect mortality or overreact on diseases that have low impact on large populations. And in term of financial, misleading report can lead to…[Read more]

In outbreak investigation, the IT system can help epidemiologists work faster and more efficiently by utilizing many existing tools, for example, in the first step of the investigation, personnel in the central agency can use the reporting systems such as a web portal, application, or social network to retrieve the symptom or sign of outbreak from…[Read more]

In my opinion, I think Thailand should have a Rabies surveillance system. Rabies is lethal and rapidly progressive, symptoms will eventually be shown between 1 week to 1 year after initial infection and in the window period, it was hard to impossible to diagnose disease. Currently, we have relied on reports from hospitals with diagnosed patients…[Read more]

In my opinion, Thailand’s elder people have a continuous increaseding prevalence of Hypertension and many of them might not be received proper diagnosis and treatment. Commuting to the hospital for a scheduled check-up is rather troublesome and this will discourage them to receive proper care. To improve the existing surveillance system for the…[Read more]

In Thailand, I personally think that our best health surveillance aspect is Intervention development and implementation. For example, in the recent COVID-19 epidemic. Despite the fact that we have a high amount of local infections and disease detection lateness but we can flatten the infection curve by implementing immediate countermeasures such…[Read more]

I would like to try the coaching style of leadership. Because it is something unique to me and motivate the group through persuasion and finding common ground could help a lot.

It is true to the current Thailand Education System. The teacher and student primary focus too much on exam and score but they often dismiss the true point of learning, the knowledge. If I was a group leader, I need to find the balance between a goal and the intrinsic drive of the member, a question like What are we doing?, What will we…[Read more]

I have reading book Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson and I could summarize that he is very visionary and want to gain most out of the team. In the same time, he is very aggressive and perfectionist that every product that came out of the company must be perfect and almost no flaw. The most unique aspect of this perfectionist can be found in every…[Read more]

I’ve joined many extracurricular activities during study in the university. My turning point is I feel empty after studying high school for six years and I have no memorable moment during those times. While my school has been famous for activity, I never joined any of those activity because I am lazy people. So after I found out that my high s…[Read more]

I think listening skill is very hard to compare to another skill like speaking, writing, or reading because each time we listen we have to deal with our ego itself. We have to look beyond the personality of the person to the essence of the message they want to give to us. In short, listening can resolve conflicts between people.

I would require the Internation Review Board approval prior to sending them any data because, at national level, there is a lot of sensitive information about each individual. IRB could screen, dispute, and argue if any information they require not necessary for the research purpose.

It’s important to protect the data of the patients. Even for the close friend’s benefits cannot be an allegation and right to disclose any patient’s information also, HIV is not a major infectious disease that law required to report. By working as a medical technologist, I have encountered a lot about these issues and we learn the duty of a data…[Read more]

In my organization, I think the IT Department has managed the system successfully. They updated the system periodically on par with the study protocol update. In this case, the ADKAR model would be: Awareness – They realize that the system needs to be updated, Desire – Because the clinical procedure cannot perform until the IT system has been…[Read more]

In my organization, I considered its system successful because it has ongoing service without too much disturbance. Considering the major factor that makes the system successful, I tend to think that People are the most important factor. By providing real-time diagnosis and solving the error, they greatly reduce system downtime that renders our…[Read more]

In my experience, as a medical technologist, when some result has been over or under parameter, the lab system will make flagged in that result. For example, the normal range for Fasting Blood Sugar is below 100 mg/dL, from 100 to 125 mg/dL is prediabetic, and higher than 126 mg/dL is considered diabetic. If a patient has been fasting for more…[Read more]

Because many hospitals across the globe using ICD as standard for disease classification if the hospital in the country didn’t use ICD, it will result in miscommunication between physicians and the HIE in that country might not be able to use with another country. As such, the most impact would be the referring system because they cannot send a…[Read more]

I think the reasons that make many physicians detested the EHR system because they haven’t trained to use this system in the school and they need to adapt to it instead of using patient charts, pen, and paper and we cannot blame it only on physician too, the good EHR must be built to suit medical personnel as high as possible. By designing an…[Read more]

I agree with you. As I worked in the embassy, they’re very strict on the privacy policy. If any person appears on any video footage or image, they must obtain a signature that gives them permission to record.
