Have you ever observed a health informatics project in your (other) organization?

In my organization we started a health informatics project in collaboration with Ethnic Health Organizations (EHOs) in Eastern border of Myanmar (ehssg.org). This project implementation was accelerated with the onset of pandemic, although there are several…[Read more]

Great and clear summary.

In terms of other preventive measures to avoid the attack, you mentioned about two factor authentication system, in my experience it is not an be-all end-all solution.

-Phishing – the attacker may use Social Engineering methods to gain entry to the systems
-SQL Injection Attack – the attacker may use complex techniques which would result in unauthorized access to sensitive…[Read more]

During the COVID-19 outbreak, in my organization, we implemented mobile healthcare and telemedicine parallelly because the needs for health care in rural areas were not met by the government health systems due to a lack of medical supplies.

Telemedicine was developed for internal use first, but after a short trial period, we launched in the two…[Read more]

The knowledge and skills that I would need to improve are multi-disciplinary because health systems comprise not only healthcare workers and IT professionals, it also comprises of people. The following list identifies some of the skills.
1) Programming skills (so I can work and understand the programmers and guide them towards solving issues…[Read more]
