Wolters Kluwer Health's Unique Prescription Data Tapped by FDA in Effort to Advance Drug Safety
Date:11/3/2008

. In September 2006, the Institute of Medicine Report entitled, "The Future of Drug Safety: Promoting and Protecting the Health of the Public" was released and outlined numerous ongoing and future activities designed to continue to strengthen the FDA's drug safety program. The Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology (OSE) contributes to this effort by evaluating drug risks and promoting the safe use of drugs by the American people. Specific recommendations in the IOM report addressed modernizing the drug safety program and outlined activities designed to modernize the process of pharmacovigilance, including activities for the expansion of database resources. In furtherance of this effort and in conjunction with the recommendations in the IOM report, FDA seeks to continue to access drug utilization data in an outpatient setting at the national level in the U.S.
