This week, May 8 to May 12 of 2017, started with
a discussion about the Mentor’s Blueprint I have drafted concerning what we
have discussed the previous week. There were few refinements done, and my
mentor’s approval was then sought. This was followed by mini-tour on their
other IT infrastructure and the detailed presentation of the Tele-Medicine
Project.
Tele-Medicine is a doctor-on-demand, anytime, and anywhere project of
SPMC that integrates medicine, IT and communication in partnership with other
government hospitals. In the presentation, four (4) components of the project were
mentioned, and these were Tele-Radiology, Tele-Psychiatry, Tele-Emergency and
Tele-Dermatology. The first two (2) components were up and running and are a partnership
with Amai Pakpak Medical Center in Marawi and Pangutaran District Hospital in
Sulu for Tele-Radiology and Borja Hospital in Cagayan De Oro for
Tele-Psychiatry respectively. Tele-Emergency, on the other hand, is a project
component in partnership with the Central 911 of Davao City whereas
Tele-Dermatology’s recipient is about to be determined and announced in the
future. Though Tele-Emergency had already been conceptualized and few
discussions had been initiated by the partner agencies, the capsule research
and development proposal were not yet documented due to lack of personnel to
focus on the task in IHOMP. To speed up the preparation of the documents
required, my deliverables considering the limited number of weeks for this
immersion was outlined.
I started to gather available documents which
made my days easy as Engr. Candelaria provided it for me to review and
familiarize. I further dig the internet
and read some published journals, articles and websites to have a good grasp of
the concept of Tele-Emergency as well as to understand some medical
terminologies. This week was focused on knowledge searching about the Tele-Emergency
Project. Moreover, project management concepts were also reviewed as drafting
capsule research, and development proposal entails an understanding of how a project
should be planned and handled. It was just good that I had an experienced
project manager mentor who had a broad knowledge of project management and had managed
several international projects. His expertise had helped widen my understanding
of related project management concepts. In other words, this week was full of
reading, understanding ……….. reading, and understanding.
