The NHSO Dashboard provides access to health data
The National Health Security Office (NHSO) launched a health dashboard to give the public and health providers access to health data.
“NHSO Dashboard” was launched on the NHSO website on Aug 9, which contains the data on budget spending and health in eight areas — COVID-19, health promotion and disease prevention, kidney disease, diabetes and hypertension, flu vaccination, telemedicine service, cancer, and patients access to medicines and medical supplies.
“The NHSO has big data because it oversees more than 47 million people under the Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS) and proceeds claims for health providers across the nation,” said the NHSO secretary-general Dr Jadej Thammatacharee.
“We obtain more than 200 million and eight million records of outpatient and inpatient department every year respectively.”
The sources of data include the health data extracted from health providers’ claims submitted to the NHSO and Public Health Ministry of Public Health's data portal.
As the NHSO receives more than 200 billion baht from the Thai government each year, Dr Jadej said it was necessary to release data on the budget spending and return the health data to society.
The access to health data will ensure transparency and accountability of the NHSO as well as provide quick access to real-time data.
In the past, individuals must request datasets from health organizations which usually took weeks to months to obtain the datasets.
Dr Lalitaya Kongkam, the NHSO deputy secretary-general, said that the NHSO had set up the dashboard in Jul. It was first used for tracking expenses and services provided to COVID-19 patients and expanded to other areas of healthcare recently.
This health data will be valuable for the public, health providers and researchers as it shows health and disease trends. It can be used for multi-purposes, including research, monitoring and evaluation, and health policy discussion.
The NHSO staff can also use the data for planning the budget and improving efficiency in budget management, said Dr Lalitaya.
Pratuang Paodit, Director of the NHSO’s digital information support department, said that the datasets presented in the dashboard were clean and ready to be used.
The datasets include the number of people accessing health services, categorized by types of services and diseases, budget spent for providing those services at provincial, regional and national levels.
In the area of kidney failure treatment, the datasets include the number of patients receiving renal replacement therapy, health units offering the therapy, available physicians and renal replacement devices.
In the area of medical supplies, the public can access the data on medicine use and stockpile in each hospital.
