The government has its eye on how your facility manages potential conflicts of interest
The government is cracking down on gifts to hospital employees from pharmaceutical and medical equipment vendors. Due to increased scrutiny, many hospitals are taking it upon themselves to reduce the risk of potential conflicts through employee education and strict policies regarding vendors.
Your peers at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit have pioneered this effort developing one of the most stringent conflict of interest policies in the country.
Kathy Yaremchuk, MD, the ear, nose, and throat physician who developed the Vendor Relation Policy at Henry Ford Health System, will take you step-by-step through the development and implementation of their strict policy.
She and Stark Law expert Robert A. Wade, Esq., and compliance officer Bret S. Bissey, CHE, CMPE, MBA, will give you tips and advice to help you develop a plan to address top problem areas in your organization.
