The system of CMS Open Payments Data is one of the tools that will help in enhancing healthcare transparency. This is based on the fact that financial transactions between medical manufacturers and healthcare providers are monitored.This eliminates, in turn, conflicts of interest. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which is the government agency supervising the medical and Medicaid program, strives to expose financial connections that might lead to biased medical choices. Through maintaining a record of payments in terms of consulting fees, research funding, and travel, it will assist both patients and policy makers to make better choices. This way, releasing such data enhances trust and accountability in the medical profession.
