Description

The primary goal of the Sentinel pilot is to build and operate a national public health surveillance system to monitor the safety of FDA-regulated medical products, including drugs, biologics, and devices. Sentinel is part of the Sentinel Initiative, the FDA’s response to a congressional mandate to create an active surveillance system using electronic health data. This data model is freely available to all. For more information about Sentinel visit the website at: www.sentinelsystem.org For comments and suggestions, please email: info@sentinelsystem.org Description: The SCDM Enrollment Summary Table1 provides a count of unique individuals and days covered stratified by age group, sex, year, drug coverage status, and medical coverage status.2 These stratified counts can be used as denominators to calculate crude prevalence rates. Individuals enrolled at least one day during the year are included. The counts are based on the SCDM Enrollment Table. Note: 1 - This summary table is created using a distributed program developed by the SOC and executed locally by all Data Partners. Refer to the Data Activities section at www.sentinelsystem.org for more information on the summary tables and their uses. 2 - For example, the table provides the number of 0-1 year old males who had at least one day of medical coverage and drug coverage in 2005.
