Open Payments Dataset (USA)

[Glen Newton]

I just discovered this dataset[1] through this article: "Pharma Paid Physicians $6.5B in 2014 – Looking Into The Open Payments Dataset[2]" 

"...the Open Payments Dataset, which tracks the details of all payments made by “applicable” healthcare manufacturers (like pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers) to any doctor they work with. A federal program maintains this database, which is a product of the Sunshine Act, part of the Affordable Care Act."

Pretty amazing!

 Does anyone know if something similar exists in Canada?

Thanks,

Glen
