I also believe strengthening data systems and human resource capacity would definitely enhance the effectiveness of your Decision Support System.

During my work experience at hospital, one example of a Decision Support System is the electronic medical record (EMR) system that helps collect and organize patient data such as assessment findings, progress notes, therapy schedules, and outcomes. It supports clinical decision-making.
Overall, the system works reasonably well, especially for…[Read more]

One of the key purposes of ICD is interoperability. Without it, exchanging EMR/EHR data between hospitals would become inconsistent so difficulty in health information exchange occurs. Another one is clinical communication problem such as a diagnosis written in free text or using local codes may cause misinterpretation, especially when patients…[Read more]

I agree with the study’s conclusion. EMRs were designed to improve efficiency, accuracy, and interoperability, but in practice, they often introduce heavy documentation tasks, complex interfaces, constant alerts, and increased administrative workload. These factors can overwhelm physicians and reduce the time they spend on actual patient care, w…[Read more]

Hi Jenny! Thank you for sharing this interesting project. I believe patients in remote or disadvantaged areas who often struggle with limited access to doctors, diagnostic tools, and timely interventions can receive essential health services closer to home, reducing the need for long and costly travel.

Hi Nang!
Thanks for the knowledge. I believe this project can significantly improve current health practices. When patients receive timely and well-coordinated interventions from providers who have a full picture of their medical history, they feel more confident and cared for. This transparency and continuity of care builds trust between patients…[Read more]

eHealth is the use of digital technologies to support and enhance health, health care delivery, communication, and data-driven decision-making.

Hi Ama,
Thanks for sharing your opinion about EPI data. Your mention of Variety and Veracity shows the complexity of EPI data, since it includes both structured (dosage, coverage rates) and unstructured information (adverse events following immunization), and is collected by trained staff using verified hospital records. This helps ensure…[Read more]

My opinion for an example of Big Data in healthcare is the Electronic Health Records (EHRs) combined with real-time patient monitoring data. For instance, hospitals now collect huge volumes of information such as laboratory test results, imaging files, medical reports, prescriptions, wearable device data (like heart rate, oxygen level, or physical…[Read more]

Brief Introduction
I have observed the implementation of an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system in the hospital where I worked. This system was used to digitally store and manage patient health information, replacing most of the traditional paper-based documentation. The EMR allowed doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to access…[Read more]

Hi Sayar!
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Community-Based Health App (CBHA) project. Digital literacy and limited internet connectivity are common barriers in community-based health informatics projects. It’s encouraging that practical solutions, such as offline data collection and uploading when connectivity is available, were i…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the EMR project in Yangon. It’s impressive to see how you implemented a comprehensive digital solution across three clinics, involving a multi-disciplinary team of developers. Technical issues, resistance to change, interdisciplinary communication gaps, and interoperability are common challenges in h…[Read more]

Your plan to implement a hybrid cloud model for the hospital’s information system is very well considered, especially given Myanmar’s challenges with electricity and internet connectivity. Storing sensitive patient data locally while using the cloud for less critical information strikes a good balance between security and accessibility. I also agr…[Read more]

I would consider moving the hospital’s information system to cloud computing using a hybrid cloud approach. This allows the hospital to store sensitive data on-premises while using the cloud for less critical data, which is suitable given Myanmar’s current infrastructure and connectivity. Cloud computing provides access to resources and imp…[Read more]

Yes, my computer was once infected by a cyber threat. It happened when I inserted a USB stick into my computer without checking it for potential malware. The cause was a malware infection from the USB stick. After the infection, my computer started to slow down significantly, and some files were affected or became inaccessible. To prevent this…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing your experience.

That sounds like a very practical and patient-centered approach. A mobile app for scheduling and symptom tracking would empower patients to take an active role in their own care, improving both awareness and adherence to treatment plans. Including a self-evaluation tool or scoring system is an excellent idea. Thanks for sharing.

I would like to build an app focused on patient care coordination and communication between doctors and patients. It would handle appointment scheduling, medical record access, telemedicine, and medication management. This ensures timely interventions, reduces miscommunication, and helps patients stay engaged in their health. The app would be a…[Read more]

I think your proposed improvements are practical and well-targeted. Implementing interoperable EHRs, streamlining workflows, and providing comprehensive training would go a long way toward addressing both technical and human challenges. I would also add that ongoing monitoring and feedback from staff using the system can help identify new issues…[Read more]
