Choice variation on electronic health database: a case study of medical decision mapping from healthcare scheme of Thailand

Published: 13 October 2022 Publication History

Abstract

The goal of this study is to develop a model for tracking and monitoring medical records in hospitals with limited database and computing resources. Electronic health records were collected from regional hospitals in Thailand with prescribing guidelines from the national public health administration, as health care management is complicated by a wide range of drug options and a wide range of health benefit options. The cost of treatment for patients with chronic diseases was also significantly higher than for patients with other diseases, according to the regression analysis. Patients with universal coverage plans have seen lower healthcare costs as a result of regulations and differentiation in the service of multiple health benefit programs.
