Andrew Van Haute, Esq. is Associate General Counsel of Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed).
Interactions between health care professionals and medical technology companies fuel the advancement of new technology and improve the quality of medical care through training and education. However, it is important that these relationships never cross the line to impropriety, particularly in today’s age of the Sunshine Act and state and federal anti-kickback regulations. Even the appearance of misconduct in this respect can have serious regulatory, products liability, and even criminal consequences for life sciences companies. The AdvaMed Code of Ethics provides guidance and a set of standards for companies to follow in order to ensure that their interactions with healthcare professionals are appropriate, and thus that the healthcare professionals’ selection of particular products are only reflections of their independent medical judgments and cannot be attributed to the influence of company personnel.
This webinar will address:
- What the AdvaMed Code of Ethics is and what it covers
- The impact the Code has had on life sciences companies
- How its implementation can help your company
