  • Thailand HIT Case Study
    Thailand HIT Case Study center for health and aging Thongchai Thavichachart, CEO, Thailand Health Information Technology and Policy Lab Center of Excellence for Life Sciences Narong Kasitipradith, President, Thai Medical Informatics Association Summary For over twenty years, both public and private hospitals have been trying to take advantage of the benefits of IT to improve health services in Thailand, yet varying resources and requirements of each institution have made for scattered, unharmonious HIT development throughout the country. The Ministry of Public Health made several attempts over the last ten years to develop a nationwide electronic medical record. However, hospitals responded unenthusiastically to the lack of immediate incentives and perceived benefits for each institution in exchange for the investment that building a common system for data sharing would require. Nevertheless, in 2007 an EMR exchange network remains in development, with the 21st century attempt likely to bring about new success in this area. HIT Adoption At present all 82 government provincial and large private hospitals in Thailand use some form of IT internally to manage drug dispensing, receipts, outpatient card searching, and appointment booking. The electronic medical record exchange system initiative in Thailand currently involves a few public and private institutions with a clear goal of supporting the medical tourism industry. This small but advanced partnership will act as the pilot project to help develop a model for wider coverage and a more comprehensive, farther-reaching system in the future. Hospitals share this information externally through hard copies, such as claims for health insurance. Most hospitals have unique software programs that are designed specifically for their internal use and operate quite comfortably within each institution’s legacy IT systems.

    Lertrattananon et al. Human Resources for Health (2019) 17:62 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12960-019-0399-8 RESEARCH Open Access Does medical training in Thailand prepare doctors for work in community hospitals? An analysis of critical incidents Dumrongrat Lertrattananon1* , Wirun Limsawart2, Alan Dellow3 and Helen Pugsley4 Abstract Background: Compulsory 3-year public service was implemented in 1967 as a measure to tackle the maldistribution of doctors in Thailand. Currently, therefore, most medical graduates work in rural community hospitals for their first jobs. This research explored doctors’ perceptions of preparedness for practice using a critical incident technique. Methods: A self-administered critical incident questionnaire was developed. Convenient samples were used, i.e. Family Medicine residents at Ramathibodi Hospital who had worked in a community hospital after graduation before returning to residency training. Participants were asked to write about two incidents that had occurred while working in a community hospital, one in which they felt the knowledge and skills obtained in medical school had prepared them for managing the situation effectively and the other in which they felt ill-prepared. Data were thematically analysed. Results: Fifty-six critical incidents were reported from 28 participants. There were representatives from both normal and rural tracks of undergraduate training and community hospitals of all sizes and all regions. Doctors felt well-prepared to provide care for patients in emergency situations and as in-patients, but under-prepared for obstetric and paediatric emergencies, out-patient care, and palliative care. Moreover, they felt poorly prepared to deal with difficult patients, hospital administration and quality assurance.
