The project evolved from eTABLET (eHealth Technology Assisted Boards for LGU Efficiency and Transparency) to e-HATID (eHealth TABLET for Informed Decision Making) to eHaMBinGG (eHATID Morbidity Boards in Geospatial Graphs). The improvement from eTABLET to eHATID includes the integration of PhilHealth Primary Care Benefits modules . For eHaMBinGG, the expansion involved the creation of 2 new portals, Geospatial Morbidity Dashboard and Comparative Morbidity Data which allows real-time visualization of selected morbidity cases either at the national, regional, provincial or city/municipal levels, and comparison of morbidity cases across LGUs.
DOH-HSRM project. This project used a software, CANREG4, which generated tables with the following calculations for each cancer site, Metro Manila and Rizal Province: Number of cases; Age-specific incidence rates; Crude Incidence Rates; % of all cancer cases; Cumulative Rate (0-64 years); Cumulative Rate (0-74 years); Age Standardized Rate; and ICD-O Code .The software also generated city/municipality specific data.
DOH-HSRM project. Recently approved by GC.
Both projects are for adoption of DOH, but both still needs further R&D
