Abstract
Innovation in academic medical centers is a national asset and a crucial pathway for improving patient care. Meaningful interactions with industry are essential to develop and refine new technologies, produce them in scale, and shepherd them through the rigorous regulatory processes. Without the marketing and sales support of device and pharmaceutical companies, even meritorious inventions and molecules would not make the kind of positive impact on outcomes that our patients deserve. Delivering better patient care and outcomes confers a broad positive effect whereby the patient, the inventor, the hospital, the community, the manufacturer, and the insurer all benefit. While there will always be potential conflicts of both effort and interest, we continue to believe these can best be addressed through thoughtful accommodations in a spirit of compromise.
