Cleveland (SmartAboutHealth) - The Cleveland Clinic has disclosed many of the ties its doctors and researchers have to drug companies.

The goal of this, which kicked off Wednesday, is to reveal any type of business link their doctors and researchers have with drug companies.

This is a move to try and prevent conflicts of interest from taking place in the future.

The Cleveland Clinic has over 1,800 doctors and researchers, and is working to keep track of all of them closely.

They have published names of those affiliated with drug companies on their web site, including money in regards to financial ties.

In the long-run, this could be key to avoiding any future conflicts for the clinic.
