3 What to publish in the future? Public Scrutiny and Press
Best Interests of Industry Why publish? What to publish (CME, Charitable, Sponsorship, Clinical Trials, Patient Advocacy)? What to publish in the future? Public Scrutiny and Press Senate Finance Committee Inquiries Why publish?: Create transparency to public Highlight the good programs that Lilly and Pharma support At the time we had two Senate Finance Committee inquiries regarding grant funding and the subject of grant giving by pharma being used for off-label drug promotion was often in the press. Also states were expanding creating broad legislation regarding spending and gifts from Pharma companies to physicians, some of which included the benefit received by physicians for CME programs. Discuss that Lilly was the first to launch a clinical trial registry back in 2005(?) to create greater transparency of their clinical studies and to the quality of those studies.

7 Publication Experience
Positive reactions internally and externally. No challenges from funding recipients Contacting key organizations before publication was beneficial and helped industry perception No noticeable change in provider interaction with Lilly Preparation and training is key to successfully publishing grant information Discussion Items Is disclosing more or less grant detail information better? What has been the government’s reaction? Has the perception of the industry changed? Missing qualitative aspect of our funding. How good was it? How effective was it? Use surveys or other criteria to determine this. 7 7
