Thrilled to share that the vision we described 4 years ago is now realized with unveiling of the RWE DE- a fully functional system of 25+ mil individuals with linked EHR and claims data ready to serve the FDA for post marketing surveillance of drugs!

@FralickMike @JACCJournals @ankeetbhatt @mvaduganathan Thanks Mike, even the “high use” counties per our definition (quintile 5) had use ranging from 20-55%. So much room for improvement here to get patients on these cheap generic life saving meds..
