Products - DPMine

The Dynamic Mining™ Module (DPMine) is a product in development that VigiLanz will offer as an outsourced service to our customers. This product will have access to all the data historically collected and analyzed by the DPV and DPG system, and their respective data sources, and can support any new data sources that the customer would like to add. While DPG and DPV were created as real time tools for monitoring, their inherent architecture enables them to be run against historic data, enabling the user to perform complex ‘what if’ analyses

The full ability of DPV and DPG to support the creation of complex rules easily and quickly can be brought to bear retrospectively on important patient safety issues without having to wait for future results.

Key Features of DPMine

• DPG and DPV Rules can be written and tested with historic data to see what the yield of alerts and warnings would have been. Thus, a rule can be tested in a few minutes using past data before being put into production.
• Drugs of the same class or drugs of different classes can be compared to each other with respect to degrees of organ impact, such as renal and hepatic function, over periods of time chosen by the user. Results are obtainable from these analyses immediately. Previously unknown side effects of drugs might emerge from these comparisons.
• Complex drug combinations, in association with preexisting clinical conditions such as kidney or liver dysfunction, can be retrospectively analyzed and followed using historic data to assess what changes occurred in the index lab functions. For example, one can test to see the effect on WBC of being on Drug1 and Drug2 where the kidney function had been known to be compromised.
