- 6. What kind of investment will this be in FY2009?
- Planning
- 7. What was the first budget year this investment was submitted to OMB?
- FY2009
- 8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.
- The FDA receives more than 600,000 voluntary post-marketing adverse event (AE) reports annually from manufacturers, health care professionals and consumers for all FDA-regulated products. The reports are analyzed by FDA safety evaluators for product risk assessment. Currently, a variety of computer programs enter the AE report into various databases that contain an archive of more than 3 million AE reports. Not all AE reports are submitted electronically, and there are many paper and data entry steps at this time. Reviewers lack the most up-to-date signal detection technology in order to find patterns that could be buried in the massive amount of data being reviewed. The MedWatch Plus Investment will close the current performance gap to create a fully automated system that possesses up-to-date data with seamless integration points facilitating data sharing and more efficient reviews by the safety evaluators. This investment specifically aligns to the eGov PMA initiative. All FDA AE systems are being reviewed and considered for migration to the MedWatch Plus investment. This will allow the Agency to move away from the current environment of numerous disparate systems and position the FDA toward a fully electronic reporting process. As a result, the average unit cost to prepare and process AE reports will be reduced. It will also increase the consistency and timeliness of reports by utilizing standardized data collection processes. Moving towards an efficient fully electronic process, instituting a user-friendly website encouraging voluntary reports, consolidating the databases into a single data warehouse, and developing powerful tools for risk detection aligns the MedWatch Plus investment with the FDA strategic goal of improving patient and consumer safety and also with the DHHS strategic objective of improving health care quality, safety, cost, and value. The MedWatch Plus initiative will institute a single Internet portal with a user-friendly electronic submission capability for all who provide AE and product information to FDA, encouraging the reporting of information in a quality and uniform manner. Behind the portal will be a single agency-wide data warehouse of AE reports instead of various separate databases. This will enable data sharing through the seamless integration of data. FDA safety evaluators will possess the ability to make vital connections to AE data and strengthen risk detection by finding patterns in data.

PERFORMANCE
- Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

Enterprise Architecture
- 1. Is this investment included in your agency's target enterprise architecture?
- yes
- 2. Is this investment included in the agency's EA Transition Strategy?
- no
- 2.b. If no, please explain why?
- This is a new investment, which did not exist at the time of the last EA Assessment.
- 3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?
- no
- 4. Identify the service components funded by this major IT investment (e.g., knowledge management, content management, customer relationship management, etc.). Provide this information in the format of the following table. For detailed guidance regarding components, please refer to http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/.
Component: Use existing SRM Components or identify as NEW. A NEW component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.
Reused Name and UPI: A reused component is one being funded by another investment, but being used by this investment. Rather than answer yes or no, identify the reused service component funded by the other investment and identify the other investment using the Unique Project Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission.
Internal or External Reuse?: Internal reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency within a department is reusing a service component provided by another agency within the same department. External reuse is one agency within a department reusing a service component provided by another agency in another department. A good example of this is an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations across the federal government.
Funding Percentage: Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the funding level transferred to another agency to pay for the service.
