Abstrakt: Objectives: Residents receiving industry payments are not legally required to be reported on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Open Payments Database. The purpose of this study is to review reporting of orthopedic surgery residents and identify the trends for which payments or transfers in value were received.
Design: The CMS Open Payments Database was used to search for all available orthopedic residents from 2014 to 2016. All data available on the CMS Open Payments Database was recorded.
Setting/participants: This is a database study. Participants are residents reported in the CMS Open Payments Database.
Results: Over the 3-year period, 6832 resident "entities" were identified from 151 programs. A total of 3217 entities (47%) were reported as receiving payments from industry during this time period. This totaled $3,786,754 over the 3 year study period. The largest itemized categories for payment were education (32.5%) and grants (30.9%) totaling more than $2.4 million. Other areas of payment included travel (17.0%), food (16.0%), consultation fee (1.7%), research (0.8%), speaker fee (0.7%), gift (0.1%), honoraria (0.1%), and other (0.02%).
Conclusion: Overall, 47% of orthopedic resident entities were reported on the CMS Open Payments Database. The vast majority of payments were related to education and grants. Residents should become familiar with how to navigate the Open Payments Database and be educated on maintaining appropriate relationships with industry.
