The Final Rule for the Physician Payment Sunshine Act (Sunshine Act) is out! New federal legislation governs relationships between physicians and medical device, drug, and biotech manufacturers. The Sunshine Act requires detailed reporting in 2014 of ''transfers of value'' made in 2013 to physicians and teaching hospitals as well as physician ownership in companies. The information reported will be made public by CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) and penalties for non-compliance are substantial.

Are you prepared to track and report gifts and payments made to physicians and teaching hospitals? Is your CEO, CFO or CCO prepared to certify your prospective submission in March of 2014?

Course Description:

Formal written Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are required both by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA). Almost every deficiency identified in FDA’s 483s and Warning Letters can be traced back to deficiencies in SOPs at an organization. SOPs are often inadequate, miss important elements, do not contain important tools to increase compliance with the SOPs and many times are hard for the personnel who follow them to understand. They are frequently poorly written, communicated, monitored and enforced.

This two day In-person seminar will provide step by step instructions to create SOPs for FDA-regulated organizations. Throughout the workshop, the instructor will discuss case studies and examples to highlight the common errors and potential solutions. Additionally, the logistics of creating, maintaining, scope, training and documentation will be reviewed. Pros and Cons of paper and electronic SOPs will also be discussed.
