Covidien, a global provider of healthcare products, has announced the launch of Conscientious Collaboration, an online resource to promote the importance of ethical and clinically meaningful collaboration between healthcare professionals (HCPs) and the medical device and pharmaceutical industries.

Legislation—such as the Physician Payment Sunshine Act, and similar state laws—has focused interest on the relationships between HCPs and corporations. Covidien's online resource is designed to help educate HCPs about Covidien's policies and practices for working with them, as well as the laws and codes of conduct that govern these relationships.
