Report sheds light on food security situation in Kenya - Video
U.S. doctors and teaching hospitals received nearly $3.5 billion from pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers over the last five months of 2013, according to a partial set of data released Tuesday by the federal government.
The data mark the first disclosure of anything approaching comprehensive information on the once-confidential financial ties between doctors and drug- and device-makers.
The data include 4.4 million payments and other transfers of value by drug- and device-makers to some 546,000 U.S. physicians and 1,360 teaching hospitals made between Aug. 1, 2013, and Dec. 31, 2013.
But it is significantly incomplete, and physician and industry groups have raised concerns about accuracy and context.
About 40 percent of the information was "de-identified" essentially redacting a doctor's name and other information because federal officials could not confirm the information's accuracy.
Patient advocates and lawmakers have long pushed to make the data public, saying such arrangements are rife with potential conflicts. Several studies have shown that payments or gifts, however small, alter doctors' prescribing patterns and influence how they practice medicine.
The data were released as a requirement under the federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act, a lesser-known provision of the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
Federal officials hope publication of the data will help consumers make better health care decisions by better understanding their doctors' relationship with industry, said Dr. Shantanu Agrawal, Medicare's deputy administrator and director of the Center for Program Integrity, in a conference call with reporters.
"We are taking a big step forward in shining the light on these financial arrangements," Agrawal said. "Using this new data, it is now possible to conduct a wide range of analyses of payments made by drug and device manufacturers that were never possible before."
Nearly 40 pharmaceutical and medical device companies in Illinois paid more than $100 million to doctors and teaching hospitals across the country, including Illinois, according to the Tribune analysis.

ABC The ANU's tracking of Leichhardt's expedition (in red) compared to John Arrowsmiths map of the route published in 1847 (in blue).
An Australian National University (ANU) project has shed new light on explorer Ludwig Leichhardt and his landmark expedition through northern Australia in 1844.
The ANU has launched a new paper map, as well as an interactive digital map, showing the precise route taken by Leichhardt on his journey from Moreton Bay, in south-east Queensland, to Port Essington in the Northern Territory.
The new map corrects old maps that were up to 32 kilometres off.
Today marks 170 years to the day, since Leichhardt set of on the journey with his company.
The map includes excerpts from journals kept by Leichhardt and three other members of his party as well as artworks by Bill Gannon and Katharine Nix.
A digital version of the map has been linked to the journals allowing users to take the expedition online.
After having repaired some harness, which had been broken by our refractory bullocks upsetting their loads, and after my companions had completed their arrangements, in which Mr. Bell kindly assisted, we left Jimba, and launched, buoyant with hope, into the wilderness of Australia.
Many a man's heart would have thrilled like our own, had he seen us winding our way round the first rise beyond the station, with a full chorus of 'God Save the Queen,' which has inspired many a British soldier,- aye, and many a Prussian too - with courage in the time of danger.
"You can zoom in and out of the map and to see what it looks like now.

Interactive map sheds new light on Ludwig Leichhardt expedition
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State officials released new statistics Tuesday, providing insight into what's happening on campus from crime to drugs, and alcohol.
The numbers are important especially in light of the three campus-area rapes that were reported this weekend.
Universities around the country will be releasing crime numbers Wednesday, but NBC4 obtained Ohio State's numbers early Tuesday.
The statistics are compiled and published annually as part of the Clery Disclosure Policy.
The 64-page crime section covers a lot of ground, and the biggest issues are related to alcohol and drugs.
More than 1,600 students saw disciplinary action in 2013 related to having alcohol in a residence hall. But that number has decreased in 2014 a two-year trend.
Drug violations are on the rise. There were more than 400 cases on campus in 2013 the vast majority inside residence halls.
Another number highlighted by the report is the number of campus rape reports on campus and inside residence halls.
In 2013, there were 25, which is higher than in 2012, but slightly down from 2011.
The raw numbers don't include the case of a sexual assault that was reported inside a residence hall last weekend. That report will be included in 2015's report.

Report Sheds Light On Sexual Assaults On Ohio State Campus
The legendary Rainbow Room on the 65th floor of 30 Rockefeller Center will waltz into a new era this weekend, reopening on Sunday to reclaim its former glory. The storied restaurant and dance hall has undergone several years of renovations by new parents Tishman Speyer, who aim to return the now landmarked venue to its former status as one of the city's most notable culinary icons. They've brought on board British chef Jonathan Wright to helm the kitchen, which will turn out a festive Sunday brunch in addition to Monday night dinners open to the public. The space will be open for private events other nights of the week.
Monday Nights at Rainbow Room will feature live performances, beginning with NYC house band The Roots on October 5th. The first Monday of each month will be reserved for these intimate concerts while subsequent Mondays will be for a more traditional dining experience. Dinner seatings on show nights begin at 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. with performances following at 8 p.m.; be prepared to shell out a minimum of $175 (without booze!) for the prix fixe meal, depending on the evening's show.
On Chef Wright's menu are classic Americana dishes like Oysters Rockefeller, Dover Sole, Maine Lobster Pot Pie with Black Truffle and Beef Wellington. Sunday service means a brunch "inspired by cuisines from all around the world," to the tune of $95 for adults, again, not including any alcohol.
Adjacent to the iconic rotating dance floor is the new cocktail lounge SixtyFive, which will be open five nights a week to the general public. The more casual (yet still costly) spot shakes up cocktails like Manhattans ($25) made with Wild Turkey 101 Rye, a Sazerac ($24) of Germain-Robin Craft Method Brandy; and more contemporary libations like the Piguant Pear ($22) made with jalapeno-infused Espolon Silver Tequila, pear, fresh lime and cinnamon syrup. The space also includes a wraparound outdoor terrace with gorgeous views of the Manhattan skyline.

A Peek Inside The Rainbow Room, Which Reopens This Weekend
The White House
Office of the First Lady
For Immediate Release
September 30, 2014
East Room
1:08 P.M. EDT
MRS. OBAMA: Well, good afternoon everyone, and welcome to the White House. Yay! (Applause.) See, I always have to loosen you guys up. Youre in the White House, youre a little stiff. (Laughter.) But let me just take a moment to notice these nice chairs -- pretty nice. This is a new addition to the luncheon, those of you who have been here. (Laughter.) This is -- round of applause. (Applause.)
Well, it is truly a pleasure to be here with all of you today as we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the National Design Awards. And I have been fortunate enough to be here for -- this is my 6th year that weve had the pleasure of hosting this event here in the East Room. And every year, I truly look forward to learning more about the honorees. I mean, I get to read everything, but then, every now and then, I get to sit down and talk to you guys and actually learn a little bit about how you do what you do.
And what I discover is that these men and women are some of the most daring and creative minds in the world. From a designer at Google whos using data and crowd-sourcing to create art that will take your breath away, to the former Hollywood set designers who are now creating some of the most unique buildings and interiors that youll ever see -- and they like each other, I think. (Laughter.) And then theres this fashion designer whose parents tried to convince him to be a lawyer, or a doctor, or a dentist, or something like that. And Im sure that I speak for all women -- (laughter) -- when I say that Im grateful that Narciso chose another path. (Laughter and applause.) Well done.
And its that idea of a path -- a lifes journey -- that Id like to spend just a moment reflecting on. Because every year at this event, I love asking our honorees how they ended up in these cool careers in the first place. And more often than not, they tell me some crazy, quirky, interesting story about a string of coincidences that led them here today - a chance meeting that turned into a partnership or business; a passion that no one ever dreamed they could actually make a living from; a mentor, a teacher, a family member who sort of led them into the career.
