Sunshine Act and Janssen Pharma Discussion No unread replies.
You have two topics for discussion-
(1) The Physician Payments Sunshine Act tries to create transparency on healthcare companies' interactions with physicians who ultimately prescribe drugs and medical devices to consumers. Do you believe that physicians are swayed to prescribe a product if they have received items of value from the healthcare companies that manufactured the product?
Do you think this is a good law, or do you think it's destroying efficiencies in the healthcare industry, because it imposes greater record-keeping requirements?
Who is harmed when a doctor prescribes a product primarily based on what he had received from the healthcare manufacturer?
(2) Commonwealth of Kentucky v. Jenssen Pharmaceuticalsdiscusses various allegations of violations of FDA labeling and marketing laws against Jenssen Pharmaceuticals.
What specific violations were alleged in the case, and who are these laws designed to protect?
