Commentary:This institution’s policy makes limited efforts to monitor and limit the relationship between industry and its physicians beyond an incomplete reporting requirement. The institution even allows speaker's bureaus and ghostwriting, activities widely accepted by the profession to be problematic and unsupportive of academic inquiry, to take place in the presence of a possible management plan.
