FAQ
What is compliance in the pharmaceutical industry?
The pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated. National and international standards and regulations, such as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), are becoming increasingly important, if not a prerequisite for conducting business. Companies are allocating significant resources to ensure regulations are implemented and processes are validated. As the pharmaceutical industry is overloaded with regulatory documents and working practices it needs a robust and effective model to drive compliance.
What are the benefits of compliance in the pharmaceutical industry?
"The OIG believes a comprehensive compliance program provides a mechanism that addresses the public and private sectors’ mutual goals of reducing fraud and abuse; enhancing health care provider operational functions; improving the quality of health care services; and reducing the cost of health care. Attaining these goals provides positive results to the pharmaceutical manufacturer, the government, and individual citizens alike.
"In addition to fulfilling its legal duty to avoid submitting false or inaccurate pricing or rebate information to any federal health care program or engaging in illegal marketing activities, a pharmaceutical manufacturer may gain important additional benefits by voluntarily implementing a compliance program. The benefits may include:
- A concrete demonstration to employees and the community at large of the company's commitment to honest and responsible corporate conduct;
- An increased likelihood of preventing, or at least identifying, and correcting, unlawful and unethical behavior at an early stage;
- A mechanism to encourage employees to report potential problems and allow for appropriate internal inquiry and corrective action; and
- Through early detection and reporting, minimizing any financial loss to the government and any corresponding financial loss to the company. "
