Integrating Commercial Healthcare Datasets for Aeromedical Risk Analyses

​The Office of Aerospace Medicine needs the ability to define aeromedical hazards and characterize risk, as informed by all relevant data sources, during pilot medical certification in a manner that aligns with the FAA’s approach to safety risk management. Existing aeromedical data produced from the FAA’s pilot medical certification business processes are limited in terms of scope, quantity, and quality, which has stymied efforts to calculate relatively unbiased risk estimators for aeromedical hazards. One approach to mitigate this situation is to use alternative data sources, such as commercial and government-generated healthcare datasets, to calculate risk estimators for aeromedical hazards. This project will seek to identify the best set of healthcare datasets and an applicable common data model to facilitate analyses across datasets. The outputs of this research project will be integrated into the Office of Aerospace Medicine's safety management system data environment.
