AbstractThe Sentinel System is a major component of the United States Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approach to active medical product safety surveillance. While Sentinel has historically relied on large quantities of health insurance claims data, leveraging longitudinal electronic health records (EHRs) that contain more detailed clinical information, as structured and unstructured features, may address some of the current gaps in capabilities. We identify key challenges when using EHR data to investigate medical product safety in a scalable and accelerated way, outline potential solutions, and describe the Sentinel Innovation Center’s initiatives to put solutions into practice by expanding and strengthening the existing system with a query-ready, large-scale data infrastructure of linked EHR and claims data. We describe our initiatives in four strategic priority areas: (1) data infrastructure, (2) feature engineering, (3) causal inference, and (4) detection analytics, with the goal of incorporating emerging data science innovations to maximize the utility of EHR data for medical product safety surveillance.

Pediatricians generally may not be aware that playgrounds and playground equipment present an unsuspected hazard to children. Swings, slides, and playground equipment are ranked fifth in the Consumer Product Hazard Index based on data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) of the Consumer Product Safety Commision (CPSC), with an Age Adjusted Frequency-Severity Index of 12,498,000 for 1976 to 1977.1 Last year the CPSC's NEISS estimated that 167,000 persons were administered hospital emergency room treatment on a nationwide basis for injuries associated with public (75,000), home (41,000), and unspecified (51,000) playground equipment. The majority of those injured were between 5 and 10 years of age.
