Compliance department and Quitam
The Pharma Compliance Blog, author Brian O'Rourke, makes interesting observations in his post "Removing the Silos, taking a holistic to compliance. 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?
