This annual workshop serves as a forum to bring together leading experts and interested stakeholders to discuss the ongoing development of the Sentinel Initiative. The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 authorized the Sentinel Initiative with the charge of utilizing electronic health care data for post market risk identification and analysis of medical product safety.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has since continued to refine and expand the Sentinel Initiative’s data infrastructure and capabilities, and in recent years, new analytical tools and enhancements of methods have unlocked access to more diverse sources of data and improved the quality of evidence for safety surveillance activities.
Marking the 10th anniversary of the Sentinel Initiative Public Workshop, the workshop will also feature key leaders from across the Sentinel System stakeholder community including the FDA, Sentinel Data Partners, Sentinel Coordinating Center, regulated industry, and other engaged stakeholders.
Sessions will be moderated by Dr. Mark McClellan, Director, and Dr. Gregory Daniel, Deputy Director of the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy. There will be several opportunities for stakeholder feedback throughout the day. Workshop topics will include:
- An update on the state of FDA’s Sentinel Initiative
- Sentinel’s expanding role as a national resource for evidence generation to improve public health and care delivery
- Opportunities to advance development of Sentinel’s data resources and analytic capabilities
