Although some people might not have direct involvement in COVID-19 pandemic from their job. We are all citizen affected from the pandemic. By complying with the government’s strategies, self-care and care to the family or being considerate with some communications on social media etc…these are all very important contribution to the effective disease controls I think!

I don’t know if you feel the same that this discussion group can benefit tremendously from having students from different countries. My BHI mission is now to recruit students from various parts of the world and we can all learn even more.. good stuff here.

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 self-awareness (what type of listener you are) and social skill (how to listen to others). Recommended!

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. Remember that we should start simple always, thus there would be some assumptions behinds that we keep to make the model simple enough…note those down if you like and we can discuss later.

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 เช่น
new.dt <- read.csv("C:/folder/data.csv") หรือ setwd("C:/folder/") new.dt <- read.csv("data.csv") -

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!
-

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.

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!

Please start sharing some Gantt chart or some workflow. There is some good VDO on the coursera that you are supposed to complete in week 2 material. https://www.coursera.org/learn/leading-change-health-informatics/lecture/eZpl8/example-of-a-gantt-chart
Enjoy!

Great stories everyone. Well done for being brave and taking the leadership.
We can inspire each other throughout this course. Taking this BHI online is also stepping out from your comfort zone. So actually all of you are taking good leadership there! -

Great stories, guys. Thanks for sharing! I look forward to meeting all of you soon 🙂

To all. I have read through all your comments and all sounded OK. I would need more time to carefully go through your report and hopefully give useful feedback. I will do that after reading your final report.
-
2022-10-01 at 9:14 pm #38486Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
Cool. Sounds like you can apply the reduction in transmission directly in the model when using prophylaxis drugs. I will get back after reading your report. Thanks.

Arwin, somehow I cannot click reply next to your post. I think you have captured the important elements of HIV there and also aware of what assumptions you made to have a simple version of the model. For the final project, you can spell out the parameter estimates into table with the references.
-
2024-02-07 at 12:12 pm #43342Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
Agreed. Simple is the best for communicating, isn’t it. It is applied to all disciplines I think!

Good to hear from you, Toby. It has been great to learn many aspects of Hong Kong health informatics from you. Thanks!

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!

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 prevention scheme.
Let beta be the transmission rate of Hep C(beta)(1-x) is updated transmission as a result of intervention

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 changing based on the control measured you mentioned.

Good job.

2023-04-09 at 9:13 am #40011Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
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 my opinion.

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 well to get those benefits!

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!

I wonder about the user acceptance of CDSS. People is the hardest component to change sometimes.
-
2023-01-15 at 12:18 pm #39474Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
In addition to planning the implementation process, building capacity in the long term would make a strong foundation. That is why you guys are here 🙂
-
2022-11-20 at 5:33 pm #39152Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
Dear Siriphak, it is interesting but it would be more useful to give the study title and some text to explain the detail of the study a little more here. I am also not sure how the participants can switch the arm? I think it will be more informative to have the number of sample size, the short description of steps etc.

Unfortunately, I cannot access to the chart. Can anyone else access?
-

Good job, well done!
-
2022-11-20 at 5:26 pm #39149Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
Good effort. I think it helps to have this flowchart to communicate with all health personals and set some priorities during the emergency.

It seemed like the week no. was jumping there. So the chart is up to the point where the project has started and is still running. Unfortunately, I cannot see the project closure in the schedule. I think this would make a more complete Gantt chart.
-
2022-11-20 at 4:14 pm #39147Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
Dear Kawin,
Would you like to have ago again at the Gantt chart with the English version so that we can all learn from each other. Thanks! -
2022-11-20 at 4:10 pm #39146Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
My initial observation is the big jump from phase 3 to 4, the months seem to be disconnected! Otherwise it looks very professional!
-
2022-11-20 at 4:09 pm #39145Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
Dear Sippapas, Thanks for the effort but I think it would first be in English, second it should be your own project or the process that is part of the work that you are working on. Remember that projects are something that have the start and end time…not routine work. Do you want to have a go again? This is something you need to submit in COURSERA anyway so it won’t be a waste of time.
-
2022-10-01 at 9:20 pm #38488Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
Ok. Look forward to reading the full report and will give some detailed feedback. Thanks!
-
2022-09-17 at 6:19 am #38132Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
Ok, great start. Now HBV main transmission is vertical route. Can you think how this may be added into the model since we want to control it?
-
2022-09-17 at 6:06 am #38131Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
Further thinking around this question is how these factors could be incorporated into the model. For example if we focus on internal factors like high contacts or age, it is easily explored in the structure we have.
-
2022-09-15 at 6:03 am #38062Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
Karina, it would be good to mention more about the setting. I am not clear if we focus on falciparum here? What do we assume about the immunity among the travelers? I am curious to see the model adjusted to your questions and setting next.
-
2022-09-15 at 5:50 am #38061Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
I think gamma is probably the recovery rate (per day) and should actually be 1/duration of infectiousness. OK, it would be nice to now construct and run the model in R.
-
2022-09-09 at 6:26 am #37997Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
The structure looks rather complicated because it involved two types of infections. Maybe we can somehow try to simplify the model structure or narrow down the scope of interest.
-
2022-09-09 at 6:08 am #37996Wirichada Pan-ngumKeymaster
Hi Hazem, in the next step please think more about the model structure of Measles and adding vaccination into the model as well. For the effect of COVID-19 as you mentioned, I am not sure how well we know about it to tie that up in this modelling. Please read and suggest some more ideas during the course.
