For decades, legislators, scholars, and practitioners have expressed dismay over financial conflicts of interest between pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers and the physicians who use their products.Industry now spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually complying with the Sunshine Act—enacted a decade ago to provide patients with insight into whether their physicians’ recommendations may be tainted by payments from manufacturers. Yet despite its goal of providing transparency, few patients know this information exists, and examination of the program reveals its problems run far deeper than lack of publicity.
Join Professor Jacob Elberg as he analyzes key questions striking at the heart of the doctor-patient relationship and proposes a new policy aimed at restoring trust in the health care system.
