On the one hand, the College of Medicine will result in a substantial increase in the number of medical students we shall train to increase the number of doctors in our country,” Concepcion said. </span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">“The Genomic Cancer Research Institute will focus on finding cures for cancer, using the science of genomics as a major tool,” he added. </span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The UP president said they conceive PGH-Diliman to be the most modern and well-equipped hospital in the country. </span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">“We believe that we can make this dream happen with your support and the help of our national and local governments,” he said. </span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The plan for the medical complex, including sources of funds, has yet to be finalized.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;">In his speech, Concepcion also bared other plans, including support for faculty, staff, and students. </span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">He also stressed the need to rehabilitate buildings in different campuses of the university. </span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">“It entails the repair, restoration, and improvement of our buildings and dormitories. The time has come to put an end to the not-so-amusing joke that there is no clean or decent toilet in UP,” he said.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Return service</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Concepcion also raised the possibility of implementing a return-service program for graduates, especially in light of the implementation of the free college tuition policy. </span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">“This return service will be for one year after graduation. Our graduates will be required to teach senior high school students in public high schools that we will identify as UP feeder schools. This scheme, we hope, will uplift the quality of the graduates from these feeder schools,” he said. </span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">“The return-service condition, however, will be voluntary. Any student may opt out from this condition before graduation by paying his tuition, or the cost of his education if he will opt out after graduation. The return service to be rendered by our graduates will not be for free. Our students who will decide to teach will be compensated properly,” he added. </span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Concepcion said they are very optimistic that the students will choose to render return service.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Source: <a href="http://www.philstar.com/metro/2017/09/24/1742063/eyes-pgh-cancer-research-institute-quezon-city">http://www.philstar.com/metro/2017/09/24/1742063/eyes-pgh-cancer-research-institute-quezon-city</a></span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5544835517721897626&postID= 6585920237383633853&target=facebook" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA9Bov-5jxblscorzGCopVL5Xz68i6dvP9jIudFNjEHqR8MMdmVfysddhDjGUhuvlerb67aHnfQDJEUeUQZ5kjo_Wx4ig1t1Up2WOpNkMj-NaNLwPtxqdA3ez_SOd-1IwiRZWwI2BCbpA/s1600/sharefb185.png" /></a> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5544835517721897626&postID= 6585920237383633853&target=twitter" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMggqAn9B6n_ue3iBOqDQgfJmfpRxWvLyKJRt7IFP17wasPqRAsizTNNHpZHUKMuDMZm5A4duwa4m0IFs-cBh79J03YQVVToXxjf2LZ6qNn4CyLwa8Wy-c4jj2UC8QFH081Ja_q0iaXdM/s1600/sharetw185.png" /></a></div>

During the 2nd HealthXPH Healthcare and Social Media Summit held last year, patients and caregivers were already included.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">This year’s summit will also make the patients and caregivers participate in formulating policies, guidelines and researches that will directly benefit these stakeholders in Philippine healthcare. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">This enabled the patients and caregivers  be an integral part even before the summit itself in the design and planning of the conference, that includes selection of themes, topics and speakers.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"> In fact, one of the co-organizers is a dialysis patient, Dr. Narciso Tapia.

The Philippines’ doctors, by contrast, serve 33,000 patients per doctor. This is why the goal of the DOH is to raise 35,000 doctors more, in order to serve between 2,000 to 5,000 patients.

The nurse rated his office at 92.3%, no doubt, a higher rating against the 89.5% average of the rest of the pediatricians in Maine. <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Leonidas pointed out that one of the keys that ensured the efficiency of the inspection of his office included the presence of an EMR system. <a href="http://opinion.inquirer.net/80860/electronic-medical-records-urgently-required">He also outlined how the DOH can effectively implement the EMR system in the Philippines</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Truth be told, given the dire situation of healthcare in the country, going digital or electronic may seem to be a less urgent priority, as opposed to first improving the patient-to-doctor ratio. In fact, the DOH has been looking to prioritize <a href="http://www.rappler.com/nation/138572-new-doh-secretary-induction">the completion of the Universal Health Insurance</a>, “especially for the poor” first and foremost, then the next top priority is to <a href="http://www.rappler.com/nation/145333-ubial-cuba-health-system-doctors-needed">increase healthcare accessibility on the barangay level</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Given these priorities for the government, a couple of questions beg to be asked: Where does the government integrate the need to keep accurate records of patient care? When does the government aim to ensure that there is data being gathered, in order to determine the next steps in patient and health care improvement?</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <span style="font-size: large;">These are burning questions that need to be addressed. Meanwhile, since the Philippines has a very strong private healthcare sector, one big way that doctors can contribute to nation-building is to ensure that their own patients’ medical records are accurately kept. This way, epidemiological data from the private healthcare sector will be able to contribute to the country’s larger body of healthcare data.
