Wouldn’t it be a good idea if one BHI student could do the project on collecting the evidence of impacts on these changes of hospital’s administrative system in our country!

Great discussions on different challenges in health systems here. Thanks for sharing experiences and opinions in this topic.

I am glad to see all your comments which clearly showed your self-reflection and intention to improve the listening skill. It is good to recognise that we are all different and nobody is perfect. Missing the details, missing the big picture or missing subtle cues can all happen to us…so be patient when work together!

Thanks all for sharing your thoughts and some action plans. Taking the balance between caring for yourself and caring for others is what I have been trying to do. I have finished the ‘effective listening’ https://www.linkedin.com/learning/effective-listening/improve-your-listening-skills?u=91782594 which I found enjoyable. It has the components of…[Read more]

Some good literatures on this:

So if you are going to put in those controls in the model, how would you do it? My suggestion is to have a term multiply to beta. That term could consist of parameters informing the coverage and efficacy of the intervention. That term is taking the value between 0 and 1, for example we can say
let x be the effective coverage of needle sharing…[Read more]

Good choice of structure. Now I think it would depend on the questions you want to focus on. Whether you need to look at various stages of infection (like my published work) or whether it is enough to just have one compartment I. So far you tend to focus on beta. Perhaps you are interested in varying the beta or reducing beta through contact rate…[Read more]

Good job.

The four areas of work you mentioned towards the end are all valid. The next step would be to look for the right structure of the disease progression-transmission (i.e. SIR, SEIR etc). Continue literature review to see what would be the questions suitable for Myanmar setting, how interventions are in place and what may be the issue in the setting.…[Read more]

พอดีว่าไม่เห็นว่า error message ขึ้นว่าอะไร รบกวนส่งให้ดูได้มั้ยคะ หรือจะเข้ามาคุยกันวันพุธนี้ตอนเย็น 5 โมงก็ยินดีนะคะ

ถ้าเราไม่set working directory ก่อนเราต้องบอก path ให้ครบค่ะ ต้องใส่ read.csv(“C:/folder/data.csv”) หรืถ้าset working directory ตามVDO ที่ชี้แจงไว้จะสามารถเรียก command ที่ว่าได้และไม่มี error ค่ะ
setwd(“C:/folder/”)
read.csv(“data.csv”)
อย่าลืมว่าถ้าจะใช้ data ในการคำนวณต่อต้อง assign name ให้ data ด้วยนะคะ เช่…[Read more]

I agree and disagree with this point, just because we calculate p-value based on one data sample so it is just one piece of evidence so when the calculated p-value is very small, it may be true for just this one sample. By saying the p value is less than 0.05 (rather than p value = ???) in a way don’t over emphasis on just one sample’s result in…[Read more]

Thanks all for sharing your experience. Very inspiring and I am very proud! This course is coming to the end and I think we have learned a lot from each other. I am very happy with all your participation. Well done!

Equal healthcare for all is really difficult I agree. I think technology may help improving the access to healthcare, seeing through some rather complex mobile applications registrations of government support schemes during the pandemic! eg คนละครึ่ง (50:50) เที่ยวด้วยกัน (tourism promotion application). Thai people of all levels managed extremely…[Read more]

Good thoughts by all about data sharing. Certainly this is the way forward in research now. Not only data should be shareable, analysis plan, protocol, model codes etc are subject to sharing in many journals too.

Thank you for many of you who shared the experiences with EMR system and also those who participated in the discussions. People is always a key challenge when implementing changes I think.

Great discussions among yourselves. I learn as much from the discussions here after reading the article. Thanks guys for your participation.

Thanks for sharing the link. I was there on one of the pre-meeting workshop on modelling as well. It is such a well organised event!

Thank you all for sharing your stories and discussing others’ posts. I learn a lot from all of you who probably have more relevant experiences of different innovations in health!
