Hardly a week goes by without reading, hearing or watching news stories about conflicts of interests (COI) in healthcare and research.

On the heels of these notorious reports, Congress is considering legislation which, if passed, will require increased public disclosure of significant financial interests among physicians and researchers, and add substantial administrative burdens to hospitals and physicians, universities, academic medical centers, as well as the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device industries.

In this audioconference, we will:

-Dissect a recent case of healthcare and research COI in the news.
-Review existing regulations and the importance of developing comprehensive and effective Policies and Procedures to remain compliant
-Discuss effective strategies for identifying significant COI
-Learn how to develop appropriate and effective COI Management Plans
-Discuss the options available for Information Technology solutions for COI management
-Provide an update on impending regulatory changes
