Improving Safety with Information Technology
Health care is growing increasingly complex, and most clinical research focuses on new approaches to diagnosis and treatment. In contrast, relatively little effort has been targeted at the perfection of operational systems, which are partly responsible for the well-documented problems with medical safety.If medicine is to achieve major gains in quality, it must be transformed, and information technology will play a key part,especially with respect to safety.
In other industries, information technology has made possible what has been called “mass customization” — the efficient and reliable production of goods and services according to the highly personalized needs of individual customers. Computer retailers, for example, now use their Web sites to allow people to purchase computers built to their exact specifications, which can be shipped within two days. Medical care is, of course, orders of magnitude more complex than selling personal computers, and clinicians have always strived to provide carefully individualized care. However, safe care now requires a degree of individualization that is becoming unimaginable without computerized decision support. For example, computer systems can instantaneously identify interactions among a patient's medications. Even today, more than 600 drugs require adjustment of doses for multiple levels of renal dysfunction, a task that is poorly performed by human prescribers without assistance but can be done accurately by computers. Multiple studies now demonstrate that computer-based decision support can improve physicians' performance and, in some instances, patient outcomes.
In the past decade, the risk of harm caused by medical care has received increasing scrutiny. The growing sophistication of computers and software should allow information technology to play a vital part in reducing that risk — by streamlining care, catching and correcting errors, assisting with decisions, and providing feedback on performance. Given the large potential risks and benefits as well as the costs involved, in this article we analyze what is known about the role and effect of information technology with respect to safety and consider the implications for medical care, research, and policy.

Thai Movie Crazy Little Thing Called
Love
Last night, I finally got to watch the Thai movie, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, which became a hit not only to Thai audiences, but to many Filipino teens as well. Make that ‘teens who are always on Facebook and actually care about Asian entertainment’. We wouldn’t have known about it if it was released like 10 years ago because it’s not shown nor promoted in the country. Let me begin by saying that the movie reminded me of those Korean movies that jump-started the Hallyu like My Sassy Girl.
My Sassy Girl of Thailand. You may quote me on that.
Seems like the Thai film industry is starting to catch up and I wouldn’t be surprised if a year or two from now, Thai-wave will take over Asia. PAKSHET NAPAG-IWANAN NA NAMAN TAYO?! We should’ve been next to Korea! Filmmakers, please stop producing movies that are just about poverty, prostitution and other depressing shit because there’s more to our country than Slumdog Millionaire-like themes! Fantasy movies and comedies about mothers with 10 children??? It’s time to move forward! MORE RPG METANOIA, PLEASE!
Whew. Now that I got that off my chest, lemme start with my “not-so-review”.
Whoever made that movie trailer must’ve gotten a big bonus and a promotion by now. I’m certain that anyone who’s ever had a crush who didn’t like him/her in return scoured the internet for download links and English subs watched this film soon as s/he saw the trailer. C’mon! I cried watching that 3-minute video halfway! It wasn’t so much the unrequited love angle that stabbed me in the chest, it’s her desire and perseverance to become (and look) better for someone she loved that hit close to home.
I wasn’t a “loser” in high school but those were my mudda’effin’ friends!
The writer-directors really had their audience in mind while making this movie. First, they cast VERY GOOD LOOKING superstars Mario Maurer (Chon) and Pimchanok Leuwisetpaiboon (Nam) to play the lead. I mean, can you really go wrong with Mario Maurer *coughSiamcough*? I highly enjoyed watching it because it’s quite funny, too, especially their teacher. I bet 100$ that she’s like the Eugene Domingo or Pokwang of Thailand. And really, those Thais have raised their level of film making with the cinematography and editing. Father Jejemon wuttfuuuu!!! I’m telling you – Thai-wave. Watch out for it.
Also, I’m sure that those who have seen it said out loud “holy shit that’s meeee!” at least once, because almost all of the scenes were plucked out of every high school girl (and gay)’s diary. Her friends remind us of our own oddball friends (see photo caption above) and those silly things they did to be noticed by the guy? YOU DID THOSE, TOO, admit it! And OMG you know that scene where Nam finally gives him a white rose and professes her undying love only to be heart-broken in the end?! Can I just say that… THAT HAPPENED TO ME. TWICE!!! (I was in love with a guy for 4 years and another one for 5 years) I felt your pain, girl! I felt it bad!
This scene looks… familiar.
The creative team did everything in their power to put Nam in OUR shoes, hence the movie’s claim that it’s “Everyone’s Love Story”.
The beginning of the film will lead you to think that it actually is. 2 minutes and 11 seconds into it and already had snot and tears all over my face. It seemed to me like those words could’ve been copied straight from this blog! So at the start, I really felt like I was Nam – from a decade ago. All those bittersweet memories rushed back to me and I found my self crying like I was 15 again.
And then she started to become too pretty. Too fast. I honestly felt like her transformation was as quick as a Nigerian runner being chased by a hungry lion. She suddenly looked so different from her three friends! I mean, even if people “grow” up in high school, they don’t grow up that fast. It only happens in Hollywood movies like She’s All That and I dunno, G.I. Jane or something. Or if you’re under SM Entertainment. If it happens in real life, those girls get preggerz early or get molested and beaten up by their boyfriends (based on true stories). I know, such a terrible world we live in. Tsk tsk.
If you ask me, it shouldn’t have ended the way it did. There’s a reason why the Phantom didn’t get Christine in the end and why My Best Friend’s Wedding became a classic. Those stories continue to affect us to this day because they used the UNREQUITED LOVE theme and they fuckin’ stuck to it!!! It made the films more… REAL. Seriously, when did you ever hear about the heartthrob of the school falling for a younger, uglier, wallflower? Teenage boys are shallow, remember??? Dude, even Betty La Fea wasn’t that lucky! She didn’t just turn into a skinny bitch overnight!
Satoshi Kon’s Millenium Actress is the epitome of unrequited love. How many of you can relate to that statement on the subs?
I understand, the producers are selling a fantasy and I commend them for doing an awesome job. Crazy Little Thing Called Love is that, really – a fantasy and in my opinion, should not be called “Everyone’s Love Story”. If it was, it would’ve turned out the way it does in real life, where not-so-good-looking, chubby, pimplish, dark-skinned, bad-haired, no-named, awkward teenage girls don’t get the boys of their dreams in the end. Heck, even the pretty ones don’t always get what they want. And how many times have we actually bawled our eyes out and no one went to our door steps to leave a scrapbook and a heart-felt confession from the very person that we’re crying about??? Nine years have passed, too but my first love – the person I wrote all those stories for and has made me what I am now, has not even tried adding me up on Facebook. FAIL.
In fact, someday I will make a movie about my, your and our REAL stories, too. And though it won’t have a happy ending, it will feature Eraserheads’ Ang Huling El Bimbo as the main OST. For that alone, I know you will watch it.

But you know, that’s just how things are and more often that not, it’s for the better. You tend to appreciate more what you have now because of the things you were deprived of in the past. And trust me,that angst makes for a VERY GOOD creative motivation.In fact, someday I will make a movie about my, your and our REAL stories, too.
