A Growing Need for Auditing and Monitoring of HCP Interactions
“The pharmaceutical and medical device industries can expect increased scrutiny of, and actions against, company officers and other individuals, according to a senior official from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General OIG)” 1
“In large part, a pharmaceutical manufacturer's commitment to an effective fraud and abuse compliance program can be measured by its commitment to training and monitoring its sales force.” 2
Today, Pharmaceutical and Device companies must integrate increasingly complex Healthcare Laws into their business. Government scrutiny of commercial practices is escalating for big and small companies alike, and new whistle blower regulations provide even greater incentives to report on potential healthcare law gaps. The cost of error is high; government fines are significant, corporate integrity agreements are expensive, and public trust in your company can be impacted.
