Description

This article describes design considerations in developing an active medical product safety monitoring system that utilizes routinely collected electronic healthcare data. Suitable approaches to minimizing false positives and false negatives depend on the characteristics of 1) the monitored product, 2) the health outcome of interest (HOI), and 3) the potential link between them.
