It is a start in the right direction, but who will have time to mine and read what is posted...if everyone were to join one central location and publish a combined data base...that would be more beneficial....BD
WASHINGTON — Eli Lilly and Co. today became the first drug maker to support a federal proposal requiring drug and medical device makers to disclose payments, gifts, honoraria and travel reimbursements given to doctors.Lilly also was the first drug company to voluntarily post clinical trial data on its Web site and the first to disclose its educational grants and charitable contributions.
Meanwhile, Warsaw, Ind.-based Zimmer Holdings, a leader in the medical device industry, also has joined in support of such a measure.
Lilly officials say a national disclosure registry is needed to restore public confidence in the relationship between doctors and the industry.
