Robots and Patient Safety Print
Blogs
Sunday, 24 May 2009
Another poor PR stunt made by my favorite hospital. Of all the magazines out there, it's PC World who picked up this "news".  It appeared that Bumrungrad has just introduced a robotic system for dispensing inpatient medication. The hospital's CTO, Chang Foo, claimed the robots "have boosted safety significantly at the hospital" [emphasis mine].


Huh?

Thai Medical Records vs. US Medical Records - PART II Print
Blogs
Monday, 17 November 2008
So how do Thai and US allergists compare in terms of their abilities to write medical records?

I believe that to some extent  writing medical records requires the same skill sets as writing computer software. As a programmer, I write concise and efficient code. I also have to make sure my code is "comprehendable" (I know, I know, it's not a proper word) and "maintainable". I won't be working on the same program forever. Sooner or later someone else will come on board and take over my work.

Thai Medical Records vs. US Medical Records - PART I Print
Blogs
Friday, 14 November 2008
I want to show you two medical records of my daughter's first visit to Thai and US pediatricians. The first record is from a pediatrician (Dr. Araya Chokrungvaranon) at the famous Bumrungrad Hospital. My daughter's first visit there lasted a mere 15 minutes. I didn't expect to see much on her record, and I was right. The first line translates to "Recently moved from US". She also prescribed Oral Polio Vaccine, which has not been used in the US since 2000, and a kid's multi-vitamin supplement.

Blogs
Wednesday, 05 November 2008
It looks like those PR drones at the hospital sugar-coated this story a little too much.

Here is the story. A US firm HealthLeaders Media, which publishes various print and web health care-related magazines, named Bangkok Hospital Medical Center a 2008 honoree in Top Leadership Teams Award's Global Hospitals category.
