As part of medical conferences, "lecture fees" have long been a sensitive topic between pharmaceutical and medical device companies and medical institutions.
As the anti-corruption continues to deepen, the compliance requirements of major pharmaceutical and medical device companies have gradually increasedDue to the lack of uniform regulations, many compliant medical conferences remain suspicious.
The good news is that with the further attention of the health and discipline inspection departments to this issue,After 2024, these kinds of questions are expected to be answered more clearly.
2024 Anti-Corruption Escalation:
The "standard" of doctors' lecture fees may be introduced!
Recently, a "Notice on Printing and Distributing Work Tips for Medical Personnel to Get Paid for Academic Lectures" (Guoweiban Medical Emergency Letter [2023] No. 469) has been circulating in the industry (See the end of the article）。The document sets clear standards for the remuneration behavior of medical personnel for academic lectures, namely:"Six shoulds".with"Six prohibitions".to further standardize the development of medical academic conferences.
According to the content of the document, the future medical staffIt is not allowed to directly take the lecture fee from the pharmaceutical company, but it can be paid through the association and other institutions.
"Six shoulds".The organizers of the conference and the inviters of the lectures must be state organs, public institutions, medical and health institutions, scientific research institutes, institutions of higher learning and social organizations, and must hold academic activities in compliance with laws and regulations, and can provide supporting materials for the academic lectures of medical personnel.
This means:Invitations to conferences or lectures directly held by pharmaceutical and medical device companies do not fall within the scope of remuneration for medical staff to give lectures.
While"Six prohibitions".The first is that it is strictly forbidden to directly accept lecture fees from relevant enterprises in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as valuable gifts and various valuable, payment vouchers and other property.
This provision is undoubtedly a clear prohibition on pharmaceutical and medical device companies directly paying medical personnel for lectures. However, it is undeniable that the principle of the health department is to encourage and support medical personnel to participate in academic exchanges and share experience and achievements, and to strengthen guidance and regulation to avoid commercial bribery.
In fact, in addition to circulating this document,January 16 of this year, in the "Implementation Rules for the Nine Guidelines for the Honest Practice of Medical Institutions and Their Staff of the Corps (Draft for Comments)" issued by the Health Commission of the Xinjiang Production and Construction CorpsIt also mentions the strict implementation of the "six shoulds" for medical personnel to get paid for academic lectures and the "six strict prohibitions" for participating in academic lectures.
From this point of view,These "six shoulds" and "six prohibitions" may be the basic requirements for doctors to get paid for lectures in the future.
But how, exactly? It will have to wait until the official documents are published. In this regard, some relevant industry insiders bluntly said:Perhaps after the Spring Festival, some hospitals will write this regulation into their work system。Let's wait for the good news together.
