How the system will work 7 HCPs/HCOs will have a role in checking the financial data from companies prior to publication. Companies have other options regarding checking of data (such as when the contract/written agreement is signed). This entails adding unique identifiers to all HCPs/HCOs. This process will be managed by Cegedim (no additional workload for companies). This process is included as part of the costs. It ensures data is clean, complete and up to date but crucially ensures accurate search functionality. Companies to collect HCP/HCO financial data through their relevant financial systems, and collate into a standard template (modelled on the EFPIA template). Cegedim will maintain the database and ensure HCP/HCO information is relevant and kept up to date. The public website will have two components: 1)Search engine (searchable platform ) 2)Full disclosure data from companies (alphabetised) on a separate page
