WHY compliance MATTERS
Our member companies operate in a complex regulatory and legal environment in the U.S. and internationally. Understanding how these frameworks apply to your business, and what policies and procedures your company should implement or update to ensure compliance, is essential to protect your business.
At its most basic level, the purpose of an effective compliance program is to reduce the risk of penalties, which can be serious. But having an effective compliance program is about more than just avoiding legal trouble. By prioritizing ethics and integrity, companies can foster employee morale and the trust of health care providers, patients and the public. Maintaining a high ethical standard across our industry protects innovative companies from the anticompetitive effects of collusion and corruption.
MDMA helps members stay up to date on important developments affecting their compliance programs and provides a forum to benchmark with peers on best practices.
