Much has happened in 2018. The world is in turmoil as major world players are embroiled in one conflict or another. The U.S. leadership is in a state of flux with a never ending series of clashes among all branches of the government. China and Russia all sense opportunities to flex their economic and military might and are now branching out to exert their influence in their respective backyards (Russia in Ukraine's Crimea, Syria, and Afghanistan and China in Korea, Japan, and South China Sea). In Singapore, we have observed these issues with concern and our leaders have noted that a chaotic world order may be the norm. As such, we have seen a sudden urgency to begin our much delayed transition to "new" leaders within the dominant political party.
With these turmoil, conflicts, and power play as the backdrop, my own personal life has had much changes in this year. On the health and family front, we are facing significant challenges as my own parents struggle with major chronic diseases and adjustment to their lifestyle as a result of these issues. My own children are now all in their teens and each is facing their teenage angst in their own different styles and temperaments. Professionally, I am into my second work contract in my university. The university itself is now operating under the MOE - a major change for all of us involved. At the same time, I have assumed an associate editor role for an international healthcare systems journal and agreed to work as a track chair for our major international association conference to be held next year in Munich, Germany. This track would be a new innovation for the conference -- a professional development track that has not be implemented before until now. In terms of research and publications, I have had some breakthroughs with my colleagues. First, we published two peer-reviewed articles in top tier information systems journals (one in Information Systems Research and another in Journal of Strategic Information Systems or JSIS). We also had two tentatively accepted and awaiting the publication process to be completed in 2019. Interestingly the article in JSIS became the second most downloaded article in Dec. (a fact that a colleague alerted us to during the year end ICIS 2018 conference). We are quite stoked by this as the publication of that paper went through an interesting process. Second, we had two conference presentations - one in ICIS 2018 (a teaching case) and one in Operations Research 60 conference in Lancaster, UK. Locally, we had an invited poster presentation at the Global Conference on Integrated Care 2018. Third, we had a case study ("KOMIDA: Implementing Digital Microfinance in Indonesia") published in Asian Business Case center (a version was presented in ICIS 2018). One potential would be edit this and submit this to other case related journals in the future. Finally, we had submitted two new research grants for our healthcare work (one with TTSH and NTFGH to study the issue of geriatric patient readmission, one with KTPH to study the impact of new processes on palliative care access). Of course, the highlight in terms of research grants was the awarding of the 2017 Social Science Research Thematic Grant (over $370,000) by Singapore's Social Science Research Council. Through this grant, we have managed to assemble a research team (one post-doc, one RA, one Ph.D. student, and one technical executive) to study the impact of EMR and NLP-enabled predictive analytics in healthcare processes and work. A spin-off of this whole series of work on predictive analytics is our collaboration with TTSH on a potential NLP-enabled predictive system for antibiotics stewardship. Altogether, we are now actively collaborating with three of the six local acute hospitals (NTFGH, TTSH, and KTPH) to study on various analytic-enabled healthcare work and processes. This would be a major research thrust for our team of researchers in the years ahead. Of course, this review helps me put things into perspective -- if things do take off, we do expect to be working harder in the next three-five years. However, at the end of the day, family still comes first. With that, I bid you all a great time of reflection as the year comes to a close and we enter into a period of festivities. |
