In the last century, rapidly advancing technological innovations have become essential components of modern healthcare, increasing the frequency and necessity of interactions between physicians and industry. These interactions have the potential to bias objectivity and should be approached carefully. A recent JACR article by Harvey et al, highlighted 2014 CMS data, which reported that only 4% of radiologists had interactions with industry, coming in second lowest amongst all 19 reported specialties. However, when managed appropriately, physician-industry relationships can mutually benefit patients, research, payers, providers, hospitals and the medical industry. In order to maintain relevance in the evolving healthcare landscape, it is imperative that radiologists establish, maintain, and expand relationships with industry. To help providers work within the ethical safety of institutional guidelines, while still promoting innovation, we propose a methodical approach with 7 key components to consider when developing appropriate physician-industry relationships or evaluating new products.
在上个世纪,迅速发展的技术创新已成为现代医疗保健的重要组成部分,增加了医生与行业之间互动的频率和必要性。这些互动有可能影响客观性,因此应谨慎对待。哈维等人最近在《美国放射学会杂志》上发表的一篇文章强调了2014年医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心(CMS)的数据,该数据显示只有4%的放射科医生与行业有互动,在所有19个报告的专业中排名倒数第二。然而,如果管理得当,医生与行业的关系可以使患者、研究、支付方、提供者、医院和医疗行业都受益。为了在不断演变的医疗保健格局中保持相关性,放射科医生必须建立、维护和扩大与行业的关系。为了帮助提供者在机构指导方针的道德安全范围内开展工作,同时仍能促进创新,我们提出了一种系统的方法,在建立适当的医生与行业关系或评估新产品时,有7个关键要素需要考虑。
