Finding Solutions
Opportunities: ICT and Health
Information and communications technology (ICT)
:
essential infrastructure and tools, great enabler to
people
●
for
knowledge
creation, sharing and dissemination.
●
boost the
innovative capacity
of all sectors and
contributes to more than 40% of overall
productivity
growth
(EU KLEMS, 2007 in EC, 2009).
●
by facilitating greater access to
health
and
education
services, and creating
economic
opportunities for
disadvantaged groups
(Daly, 2003, K. Chen, 2004, Jensen, 2007; Mercer, 2001;
Oberski, 2004; Reisman, Roger, & Edge, 2001; UNDP, 2001; The World Bank, 2001 in Fong, 2009:
471-472.)
Information science, computer science, and health
care.
Resources, devices, and methods required to
optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval, and use
of information in health and biomedicine.
Tools: computers but also clinical guidelines,
formal medical terminologies.
Health informatics
Opportunities
●
Broadband infrastructure continuously improving
●
Open source software becoming more popular
●
Computerization is ubiquitous in all institutions
but security is certainly a valid concern
●
Free email groups vs. institution-based
●
Increasing public awareness on the benefits of
ICT
Opportunities
●
According to International Telecommunications
Union 2010 Report
●
Mobile Phone Users per 100 population
–
PHILIPPINES
100.5/100
–
WORLD
49/100
●
Internet Users per 100 population
–
PHILIPPINES 9/110 (UP TO 35%, DOST-ICTO 2012)
–
WORLD

Philippines is the Texting Capital of the world

Stories of TELEMEDICINE
Teleradiology, teleorthopedics
Ortho: wash-out the antibiotic for
one week then CS/debridement
Batanes: 23/M Post Traumatic Osteomyelitis
Batanes: 23/M Post Traumatic Osteomyelitis
Saved patient P8400 for one week
“unnecessary” stay in Manila
Saved PGH P10,500 by asking
antibiotic wash-out to be done in
Batanes General Hospital instead of
the PGH surgical bed
Sarangani: Tinea imbricata among
IP Community (teledermatology)
Message of dermatologist:
...It appears to be a lovely case of
Tinea imbricata or Tokelau
ringworm caused by the
dermatophyte Trichophyton
concentricum. This is a relatively
rare dermatophytosis but is found
among Filipinos in Mindanao or other
rural areas. The first reported case
was in 1789 by Williams Dampier-- of
a Filipino from Mindanao. One early
case report was on a Filipino from
Mindoro (1962 MC Fernandez of
PGH). A co-resident of mine CTan
reported one case in the 1990s, a
Badjao patient from MIndanao if I
recall.
You really should make a case report
of your patient, and try to document
any other cases existing in her
community...
Batanes: 55/F sudden onset of blindness
suddenly lost sight after
'hitting a spider' she felt
on her eye.
Tele-Ophthalmology

TB Problem in Developing Countries
●
High TB Disease burden – TB epidemic!
Philippine – top 9
th
country;
Pakistan – 6
th
Lack trained physicians and chest specialists in remote
and rural areas
Large section of the population receives treatment
from the private sector.
75
•
PHILIPPINES
• PPP – public private sector partnership in TB
Control since 2004
• TBDCs – TB Diagnostic Committee – adopted
•
PAKISTAN
• Similar systems for TB control
• Does not have TBDC
TB Problem in Developing Countries
76
Results -PHILIPPINES
• Decisions of face to face TBDC is comparable to electronic
TBDC.
• Electronic TBDC decisions are at par with the culture
results
• F2F TBDC has a lesser delay as compared to eTBDC
●
Technology infrastructure
●
Physician comfort with technology
77
Results - PAKISTAN
• e-TBDC
=
F2F diagnosis using the culture
result (Gold standard)
• e-TBDC diagnosis was more sensitive and
specific vs. F2F diagnosis
78
CONCLUSIONS
• The use of “iPath” for hosting e-TBDCs is
a potential alternative to the current
practice of face-to-face TBDCs
• Using telehealth solution, can improve
TBDOTS coverage
• Reduction delay in diagnosis related to
the conventional process – not
demonstrated:
●
Limitations in technical capacities of
physicians and IT infrastructure
79
8 years of Telemedicine in the
Philippines
• Telemedicine is possible in geographically
isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDA)
• Telemedicine is fraught with ethical, social,
and legal challenges (read: should only be
done by trained health professionals and
certified personnel). Protocols are important.
• Telemedicine is expensive for few sites, but
costs go down with more sites
80
8 years of Telemedicine in the
Philippines
• Telemedicine – connects. Links rural 1* care
MD and specialists – professionally, socially
• Telemedicine – is a supportive tool
●
1* care MD can take care of majority of cases but
appreciate the support
• Current benefits are not enough →
improvements needed
