2. Convey: The Goal For individuals
To provide individuals with a web-based repository to enter and maintain records of financial interests and allow them to disclose directly to any organization.
For Organizations
To build a streamlined, standardized system that sets and adopts national standards but allows organizations to tailor the disclosure process to get the information they need
Other stakeholder input opportunities:
IOM Working group and Implementation group ( )
MedBiquitous Working group
Pilot Partners
FOCI Steering Committee and broader membership
AAMC Member Institutions
ICMJe representatives and other journals
ACCME and other CME providers
FDA, CMS, NIH representatives (Important: make sure to mention that we’ve been engaged with the FDA since the original IOM group, working towards the goal of using Convey as a way of disclosing financial interests to government agencies, not just to organizations in accordance with agency regulations. Rob Califf will likely mention this in his talk at 2:30, so good to set it up for him.)
