The Sentinel Stakeholder Engagement Workgroup

January 30, 2018 | The mission of the Sentinel Stakeholder Engagement workgroup was to develop messages to inform engagement partners about the Sentinel System, letting them know what a valuable tool it is and how it works, and to remind them of the FDA’s commitment to protect patient privacy. The workgroup was led by a Patient Representative to the Sentinel Planning Board. Workgroup members included representatives of the patient community, health advocacy groups, providers, health plan members, the Sentinel System staff, and the FDA.
