AdverseEvents, Inc. (AEI) Co-founder and President,
Brian Overstreet, announced the launch of the AdverseEvents
website—a first-of-its-kind online resource that delivers accurate,
real-time information on adverse drug events. Users will now have the
ability to quantify and fully understand the scope of patient safety issues
based on accurate rates of side effects by using AEI’s easy-to-use,
fully searchable database. AEI’s proprietary data set has applications
for both healthcare professionals and patients.
There has been limited access to reliable drug
side effect information. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s)
Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) is the only current database of
adverse event information but it is inaccessible, incomplete, filled
with misspellings and misclassifications, and often out-of-date.
Patients have been left to rely solely on drug labels, which can list
hundreds of potential side effects with no insight into the real-world
incidence or outcome rates. This lack of information has left patients
and healthcare professionals confused, and often misinformed about
real-world drug safety risks.
To solve this major healthcare challenge, AEI has developed
RxFilter™, a proprietary 17-step data refinement process that
standardizes and normalizes the FDA’s AERS into an accessible,
comparative database of all FDA approved medications. It is the only
resource that utilizes the RxFilter process to combine all the varied
designations for a medication found in AERS into a single report, and
standardizes the AERS data for improved accuracy of adverse drug event
information. This dramatically improves the search and alert
functionality for side effect information, data analysis and outcomes
data, and provides the only comparison views of a drug and its side
effects. AEI’s data will increase transparency throughout the healthcare
and pharmaceutical industries.
