Partners has adopted several policies that address the relationships
between vendors and our employees and physicians.
The Partners
Policy on Interactions with Pharmaceutical and Medical Device
Companies is intended to establish system-wide ethical
principles of conduct for Partners entities, employees, and
medical staff members in their dealings with representatives
from the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. The
policy is reflects many current laws and regulations that
govern healthcare industry practices.
The Partners
Policy on Consulting and Other Outside Activities establishes
rules for acceptable outside activities for employees and
medical staff associated with Partners HealthCare. This policy
governs professional relationships, such as consulting, between
these Partners individuals and outside entities who are current
or potential Partners vendors.
We are also sharing with our vendors an educational booklet:
No Strings Attached? Questions About Ethical Business Relationships
we’ve created for our staff to answer some of the frequently
asked questions in this area.
