Altruistic as it may sound, this is too significant for companies to ignore.  Should Marketing and Operations share information, should internal groups discuss best practices?  If a company is to be successful yes.

Where I tend to disagree with Mr. O'Rourke, is with his statement of "the False Claims Act is quickly becoming the Federal Government’s drink of choice".  He seems to be taking a jab at the False Claims Act. The False Claims Act has delivered over $2 billion in 2007 Quitam cases. Read more about this in a previous post on Whistleblower Law Blog.

What are your thoughts on Compliance departments and heath care organizations?  Do you believe they have a place in ensuring drug safety at pharma companies?
