Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) The Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) is a computerized information database designed to support the FDA's post-marketing safety surveillance program for all approved drug and therapeutic biologic products. The FDA uses AERS to monitor for new adverse events and medication errors that might occur with these marketed products.<br /> Reporting of adverse events from the point of care is voluntary in the United States. FDA receives some adverse event and medication error reports directly from health care professionals (such as physicians, pharmacists, nurses and others) and consumers (such as patients, family members, lawyers and others). Healthcare professionals and consumers may also report these events to the products' manufacturers. If a manufacturer receives an adverse event report, it is required to send the report to FDA as specified by regulations. <br /> The files listed on this page contain raw data extracted from the AERS database for the indicated time ranges and are not cumulative.<br /> Users of these files need to be familiar with creation of relational databases using applications such as ORACLE, Microsoft Office Access, MySQL and IBM DB2 or the use of ASCII files with SAS analytic tools.<br /> A simple search of AERS data cannot be performed with these files by persons who are not familiar with creation of relational databases.

Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) General Information The Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) data is a set of person-level data files on Medicaid eligibility, service utilization, and payments. The MAX data are created to support research and policy analysis. The MAX data are extracted from the Medicaid Statistical Information System (MSIS). The MAX development process combines MSIS initial claims, interim claims, voids, and adjustments for a given service into final action events. Unlike fiscal-based MSIS quarterly files, MAX data are organized into annual calendar year files. There are a number of other "value added" enhancements to the MAX data for users as described below.

Medicaid Analytic Rx eXtract (MAX Rx) Table Listing The Statistical Compendium options below enable users to choose to view Medicaid prescription drug tables for 1999 and 2001-2007, and to select the tables for the nation as a whole or for individual states. Within the national or state tables, users can also choose to view only those tables that focus on dual eligibles, only those that focus on nonduals, or only those that focus on all Medicaid beneficiaries combined. Note that the 1999 Statistical Compendium does not include separate tables that focus only on nonduals. Note also that there may be cross-references to other tables in the table footnotes, so all tables may not be fully self-explanatory. HHS CMS Health and Nutrition 2012-04-23 11:35:24

Medicaid Pharmacy Benefit Use and Reimbursement - Introduction and Chartbooks Under a research contract from CMS's former Office of Research, Development and Information (ORDI) now the Center for Strategic Planning, Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. (MPR) is producing a series of research products related to pharmacy benefit use and reimbursement in Medicaid. MPR is using the Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) data files for calendar year 1999 and later years for these research products. The MAX files are constructed from claims and eligibility data that states submit to CMS electronically through the Medicaid Statistical Information System (MSIS).<br /> <br /> One set of products is the Statistical Compendium: Medicaid Pharmacy Benefit Use and Reimbursement (hereafter "the Compendium") for calendar years 1999 and 2001-2007. The Compendium for each year provides detailed state-by-state and national data on the use of and reimbursement for prescription drugs in Medicaid. (A Compendium was not produced for calendar year 2000.)<br /> <br /> Using the detailed data from the Compendium, MPR has also prepared Chartbooks for 1999 and 2001-2007. The Chartbooks present selected highlights from the Compendium and include comparisons across states. The 2001-2007 Chartbooks also include comparisons to earlier years.
