“Medical meetings” still not adhering to industry bias guidelines
May 7, 2011
ProPublica’s healthcare team recently posted an interesting multimedia graphic that shows where healthcare companies allot the advertising and “educational” monies for the ongoing Heart Rhythm Society Meeting. Notable spending at this meeting goes for attendee bag inserts and pamphlets.
CurrentMedicine.TV previously interviewed Harvard’s Eric Campbell and UCSF’s David Wofsy about the IOM guidelines for medical societies relating to industry payment bias. It appears as if the HRS meeting is not coming close to adhering to these recommendations, based on the ProPublica story.
Their video interviews can be viewed here.
In addition, the huge ASCO meeting last year was also ignoring the IOM industry guidelines.
