Physicians Sunshine Act, agg spend and OIG actions join PDMA Alliance's traditional focus on sample accountability
The 2014 PDMA Sharing Conference, now in its 23rd year, will be held in Leesburg, VA on Sept. 14-17. This year’s theme is “PDMA, Sunshine Act, OIG and Beyond;” as the nonprofit, industry-led organization’s web page notes, “Today, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers are being challenged further”—beyond the sample-accountability requirements that led to the founding of the organization in the 1991. Indeed, if all goes according to schedule, Health and Human Services will be releasing public information on pharmas’, med devices’ and others’ spending on physicians just a couple weeks after the meeting—and the ripple effect that will have on healthcare businesses is looming large.
The registration page for the meeting is here. Pharmaceutical Commerce is exclusive media sponsor of the event.
