The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) today released a new guidance to pharmaceutical companies using Disclosure UK which it said will boost transparency in the relationships between healthcare professionals, other relevant decision-makers and the industry. The guidance encourages companies to use 'Legitimate Interests' as their lawful basis for processing individual's data, in order to increase the number of named healthcare professionals and other individuals on Disclosure UK, the database showing the payments and benefits in kind made by the pharmaceutical industry to doctors,nurses and other health professionals and organizations. "I'm pleased the ABPI is launching this new guidance which will boost patient safety and public confidence in our healthcare professionals," Patient Safety and Primary Care Minister Maria Caulfield commented.

Being a medical practitioner is quite a demanding job in itself. You have to make time for your patients, run your practice, ensure each patient gets the appropriate time, etc. Adding administrative duties on top of all this will just make your job harder. It is where medical billing service providers come into play. They can take that load off and make sure that you can handle your primary responsibilities without stressing about the data collection, billing, insurance claims, and other such things.
