Travel patterns could be a confounding factor in the association between age and contact patterns in this study. Young adults may be more likely to travel than older adults, and travel could increase the opportunities for contact with others.

For example, young adults in Thailand may be more likely to take domestic or international trips for…[Read more]

Neonatal mortality rate

Definition:
Number of deaths during the first 28 completed days of life per 1000 live births in a given year or other period.

Calculation:
To calculate neonatal mortality rate, the number of deaths in the first 28 days of life is divided by the number of live births in the same time period. The result is then multiplied…[Read more]

I forgot that if I didn’t answer Ajarn question, I probably wouldn’t get a point. So let’s answer once again.

As I work on the frontline, I may not be able to play a main role in COVID-19 containment. But I do my job in providing appropriate treatment and advice to COVID-19 patients.

I treat patients based on updated COVID-19 guidelines, not…[Read more]

Thank you to all my friends for sharing their interesting perspectives on working ethically.

As a physician, we are guided by four core ethics in our practice – Beneficence (doing good), Non-maleficence (to do no harm), Autonomy (giving the patient the freedom to choose freely), and Justice (ensuring fairness). However, the COVID-19 pandemic has…[Read more]

In general, Universal Health Coverage (UHC) scheme aims to ensure that all people have access to quality health services without financial problems. UHC in Thailand entitles everyone to receive free medical services at a government hospital close to the household registered area.

For me, what needs to be done to make this system truly accessible…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing this news. It’s very interesting.

From my perceived experience, I sense that many hospital administrators are beginning to know buzz words like “big data” or “AI” and feel that their data can be immensely useful, but they still do not know where to find the right person to be a manager in this field. Therefore, many potential hospitals are trying to send their personnel to learn…[Read more]

if I am the administrator of a large national database, my primary goal is to ensure that information is accessible to all citizens. In particular, government information that does not pose a security risk should be made available to the public for verification and honest criticism.

In the business aspect, data is often referred to as the “new…[Read more]

From my point of view, I think the way to deal with each challenging topic is as follows.

Missing data
Finding missing data is an unavoidable aspect of working with data, and it is important to have a plan in place to systematically handle it. While this may be manageable for smaller scale surveys, it can become a significant challenge when…[Read more]

As a physician with experience working in a hospital that uses both paper and electronic medical record (EMR) systems, I have found that there are both advantages and disadvantages to using an EMR system. Here, I will outline some of the key strengths and weaknesses of EMR systems in a hospital setting.

Strengths:

-Improved efficiency in…[Read more]

I partially agree with all four recommendations. If I am an optimist, I think these four steps will lead to success in dealing with corruption. However, since my friends’ opinions are pretty much the same, I’m going to look at it from different angles to add some variation. I’m going to be pessimistic with the assumption that corrupt people are…[Read more]

Nowadays, our society is gradually becoming an aging society. The problem of falling among the elderly is the second leading cause of death from unintentional injuries, especially among empty-nesters and elderly living alone. However, as technology improves, developers have tried to create solutions to this problem, producing cameras and AI…[Read more]

As for a regional hospital in Thailand, a disaster recovery plan (DRP) for an information system is extremely important. If I am going to develop a DRP for this hospital, I would follow these steps as follows.

1. Identification and Analysis of Disaster Risks/Threats
Naturally, in regional hospitals, all departments are fully operational on…[Read more]

From my point of view, if my hospital has implemented High Availability technology in the hospital information system, it would help all parties to operate more smoothly.

Firstly, Patients will receive services without delays caused by hospital computer system problems.
Healthcare workers are not frustrated by system problems resulting in taking…[Read more]

If I had been working in the government healthcare sector during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, I would have looked at STEEP factors as the following topics:

Social:
– Frontline workers are afraid of contracting COVID-19, resulting in fewer human resources.
– Lack of confidence in the public health system that will be able to cope with this…[Read more]

I haven’t had any experience with system administration. However, as a user, I saw a gap in the system of the hospital where I worked. The hospital’s Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) uses extremely easy-to-guess passwords such as 1, 1234, or 0000. This increases the risk of the patient’s personal information being leaked because…[Read more]

It’s a concise presentation and the diagram is easy to understand.
I have an idea of the type of surveillance system as disease surveillance, which I understand it needs accuracy, but if adjusted to mixed with syndromic surveillance it may be faster to control the outbreak.
All in all, the system is very interesting and would like to be…[Read more]

It’s an excellent presentation.
I like the idea of using AI to help predict before the outbreak. So it would be able to prevent outbreaks quickly.
I think adding the user satisfaction evaluation would also be awesome.
in order to bring user recommendations to improve the system to be able to last longer.

This is the Gantt chart I used when I was working on a project as a student.
