Development and Use of Reprints Tracking Reporter (RTR) as a Medical Information Web-Based Tool for Compliance with the Physician Payments Sunshine Act.

Dissemination of full-article references in connection with medical information responses from pharmaceutical industry medical information departments (PIMID) has both copyright and Physician Payments Sunshine Act (PPSA) compliance requirements. A complex of data must be aggregated from multiple databases, which presents a challenge in efficiently distributing articles and reporting the metrics. Using contemporary programming methods that any PIMID can duplicate and that is described herein, the authors developed a web-based tool (Reprints Tracking Reporter [RTR]) to meet this need.
