Why is Training Critical to the Success of Accurate Data Capture and Reporting? One of the 7 Elements of a Compliance Program Process is not intuitive to many areas of business…especially commercial Data systems in most organizations weren’t designed to be  integrated CRM Accounting Speaker Bureau Grants  Effective training reduces organizational risk Understanding state restrictions and accurate reporting is a shared responsibility of all employees  Understand  the restrictions and data entry process Follow  the guidance Seek advice when necessary Shared Responsibility
When is the Right Time to Train on State Laws and Reporting Requirements? Integrate into existing training process New employee orientation and new rep sales schools Ongoing training  Live training at meetings, e.g. brand team or sales meetings Position throughout the year – “learning through repetition Manager training Must have understanding and “buy in” from the top down Develop specific training applicable to managers Refresher training Sessions at meetings Prior to events, e.g. American Academy of Physicians, American Society of Hospital Pharmacists  Booth Training for national meetings

Focused Training  for State Laws and Reporting Requirements Benefits of Focused Training:   Relevance Retention Considerations for focused training: Who within the department interacts with health care professionals? Does the department affect the calculation and reporting of HCP payments and meals? Risk areas identified in audits Resource Considerations: Do you have the resources (internal/external) to develop focused training? Do you have a training platform than can support focused training assignments?

Considerations for Training Senior Management Organizational implications of aggregate spend gaps…spending or reporting Training Venue Look for existing meetings that include many of the key personnel Sr. Staff Meeting Executive Leadership Committee Corporate Compliance Committee Content:  Make it relevant Identify the most likely instances in which Sr. Management might encounter state restrictions Headquarter and satellite locations Congresses International meetings involving U.S. HCPs
Considerations for Training Senior Management Engage the administrative staff Administrative staff manage calendar and travel…and can provide reminders prior to travel Administrative staff frequently handle expense data and can help change old behaviors. Reminder of internal meal caps Reminder of information needed in order to complete data entry Reminder of state restrictions/prohibitions Leverage existing meetings of Executive Assistants

Training for State and Federal Reporting Where should you focus your training efforts?  Is this an Allowable  Expense under state  Regulations? How should the data be recorded? Expense Reports Tracking System CRM Law Rules Restrictions Yes Policy Process
Effective Training of State Laws and Reporting Requirements Training Format Will vary depending upon the size and resources of the company Company culture Computer-based ,[object Object]
VideoLive Webex Conference Call
Effective Training of State Laws and Reporting Requirements Consider phases of training: Phase I—Self study and completion of web-based training Phase II—Live participation  Face to face meeting Webex Conference call Phase III—Refresher training Sessions at departmental or annual meetings Prior to events
Effective Training of State Laws and Reporting Requirements Case studies are an effective way to engage employees to actively participate in the training session Tailor the case study to the audience (when possible) Provide scenarios that include “shades of gray” Leverage manager’s influence Develop Case Studies (with a trainer guide) for use by the manager Remediation of improper data entry-WIIFM Involvement of manager in retraining Manager’s role in expense

Monitoring an Aggregate Spend System We’ve Got an App for That
What Data Is in an Agg Spend System 19 Potentially: Field sales spend on HCPs (meals/items) Displays/exhibits Speaker program spend (meals, speaker fees, expenses) Speaker training Home office meals with HCPs Consultant payments  Advisory boards Investigator payments/Trial costs Grants (educational, sponsorship, IST) Charitable contributions Advertising costs (media, DTC)
Risks of a Robust System 20 We’ve Got an App for That What you have MORE of: Data  From more sources In more detail Flexibility (being in one system) Greater ability to analyze data What you may NOT have more of: IT headcount to continue development Operational headcount to monitor data explosion  Headcount/expertise to analyze data What may outside (OIG/AG) expectations be?
Monitoring: What, Who, When, How? 21 What are you monitoring? Accuracy & completeness of data Potential policy violations Who is responsible for monitoring?  Individuals who ‘spend’ Business units & departments who own or manage the spend Corporate Compliance (or Dept. that reports spend) When Should monitoring be ‘scheduled’? How Making monitoring user-friendly
Opportunities for Improved Compliance 22 Monitoring The low hanging fruit Aggregate spend on individual HCP across the company Dine & dash (view data by rep – multiple lunches/same day) Value of items/textbooks (internal policy limits) Meal policy infractions (limits, venue, prohibitions) Speaker program policy infractions (attendees, venue, etc.) Speaker or consultant use across all departments  More challenging Matching product detailed to HCP specialty.  Requires robust customer master data Potential Conflicts of Interest Identifying agg. spend across related entities (HCP/HCO)
Auditing an Aggregate Spend System
Importance of State Law Knowledge in Designing Audits 24 Who, What, Where and When Who is the covered?  doctors, nurses, managed care, hospitals What is covered?  Meals, consultants, clinical trials, speakers, government pricing Where?  Offices, hospitals, CME, conventions, When?  Monthly, semi annual, yearly, calendar vs other time period  Was this ever audited before and by whom? How often? Auditor experience Internal and external resources
National Verses Individual State Samples  25 Does the national sample suffice for a state? Products Employees	 Field sales vs HQ Location HQ vs Regional Office vs R&D vs Manufacturing Cost of national audit sample is much lower than sampling by state 100% vs some reasonable sample population PhRMA Code vs State Laws
Types of Spend to Audit & the Controls 26 What is covered? Meals, consultants, clinical trials, speakers, government pricing Controls Policies and procedures Control documents invoices, contracts, expense reports, payroll expenses, accruals Review and approval Automated (computer generated) vs manual (signature of manager) Monitoring 	 Exception Reports Warning notices Audits
Audit Reports 27 Executive Summary Scope and objective Sample size Procedures Detailed observations Recommendations Management response; who and when
System Involvement 28 Types  General ledger T&E Speaker Grants R&D spending Consultant Payroll Seamless and transparent Reconciliation Audit trails Reporting capability
Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Manufacturer Conduct
Regulations: Purpose Seeks to identify and minimize potential financial conflicts of interest. Seeks to ensure transparency around industry payments to health care practitioners without compromising legitimate and beneficial industry-health care practitioner interactions. Seeks to place pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers on equal footing with respect to the specific requirements of Chapter 111N. Specifically incorporates requirements from the PhRMA and AdvaMed Codes of Conduct as mandated by Chapter 111N.
Regulations: Process Proposed regulations presented at December 2008 PHC meeting for informational purposes. Two public hearings in January 2009. Comment period closed on January 19, 2009. Oral and written commentary summarized and reviewed by the Department. Final regulations presented at March 2009 PHC meeting for approval.
Who Submitted Comments? Consumer advocacy groups and individual consumers Pharmaceutical, Biotech and Medical Device Industry Trade Groups Individual Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology and Medical Device Manufacturers Health Care Practitioners Visitor Industry Charitable Organizations Payors, Pharmacy Benefit Managers and Purchasers of Drugs, Biologics or Medical Devices
Balancing the Interests In depth analysis of testimony received. Clarified the regulations where necessary. Made substantive changes with 3 goals in mind: To limit industry interactions with health care practitioners that may influence prescribing patterns and/or affect the care patients receive. To increase transparency surrounding industry payments to covered recipients. To not unduly restrict beneficial industry interactions with health care practitioners/other covered recipients that increase access to advances in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease.

ExLPharma’s Tracking & Reporting Aggregate Spend

  • 1. January 12-13, 2010 Washington, D.C. ExLPharma’s Tracking & Reporting Aggregate Spend Highlights
  • 2. Why is Training Critical to the Success of Accurate Data Capture and Reporting? One of the 7 Elements of a Compliance Program Process is not intuitive to many areas of business…especially commercial Data systems in most organizations weren’t designed to be integrated CRM Accounting Speaker Bureau Grants Effective training reduces organizational risk Understanding state restrictions and accurate reporting is a shared responsibility of all employees Understand the restrictions and data entry process Follow the guidance Seek advice when necessary Shared Responsibility
  • 3. When is the Right Time to Train on State Laws and Reporting Requirements? Integrate into existing training process New employee orientation and new rep sales schools Ongoing training Live training at meetings, e.g. brand team or sales meetings Position throughout the year – “learning through repetition Manager training Must have understanding and “buy in” from the top down Develop specific training applicable to managers Refresher training Sessions at meetings Prior to events, e.g. American Academy of Physicians, American Society of Hospital Pharmacists Booth Training for national meetings
  • 4. Comprehensive Training and Communication Critical Elements to the Success of Accurate Data Capture and Reporting Compliance Officers Policy & Procedures Leadership Computer Based Client Live Training Compliance Training Newsletters Webex Training Tools Internal Website

  • 14. Employees in High Engagement Areas
  • 17. Third PartiesMedical Directors MSLs Med Info Grants Office Biostatistics Consultant Engagements
  • 18. Focused Training for State Laws and Reporting Requirements Benefits of Focused Training: Relevance Retention Considerations for focused training: Who within the department interacts with health care professionals? Does the department affect the calculation and reporting of HCP payments and meals? Risk areas identified in audits Resource Considerations: Do you have the resources (internal/external) to develop focused training? Do you have a training platform than can support focused training assignments?
  • 19. Comprehensive Training and Communication Critical Elements to the Success of Accurate Data Capture and Reporting Compliance Officers Policy & Procedures Leadership Computer Based Client Live Training Compliance Training Newsletters Webex Training Tools Internal Website
  • 20. Considerations for Training Senior Management Organizational implications of aggregate spend gaps…spending or reporting Training Venue Look for existing meetings that include many of the key personnel Sr. Staff Meeting Executive Leadership Committee Corporate Compliance Committee Content: Make it relevant Identify the most likely instances in which Sr. Management might encounter state restrictions Headquarter and satellite locations Congresses International meetings involving U.S. HCPs
  • 21. Considerations for Training Senior Management Engage the administrative staff Administrative staff manage calendar and travel…and can provide reminders prior to travel Administrative staff frequently handle expense data and can help change old behaviors. Reminder of internal meal caps Reminder of information needed in order to complete data entry Reminder of state restrictions/prohibitions Leverage existing meetings of Executive Assistants

  • 23. Training for State and Federal Reporting Where should you focus your training efforts? Is this an Allowable Expense under state Regulations? How should the data be recorded? Expense Reports Tracking System CRM Law Rules Restrictions Yes Policy Process
  • 24.
  • 26. Effective Training of State Laws and Reporting Requirements Consider phases of training: Phase I—Self study and completion of web-based training Phase II—Live participation Face to face meeting Webex Conference call Phase III—Refresher training Sessions at departmental or annual meetings Prior to events
  • 27. Effective Training of State Laws and Reporting Requirements Case studies are an effective way to engage employees to actively participate in the training session Tailor the case study to the audience (when possible) Provide scenarios that include “shades of gray” Leverage manager’s influence Develop Case Studies (with a trainer guide) for use by the manager Remediation of improper data entry-WIIFM Involvement of manager in retraining Manager’s role in expense

  • 29. Monitoring an Aggregate Spend System We’ve Got an App for That
  • 30. What Data Is in an Agg Spend System 19 Potentially: Field sales spend on HCPs (meals/items) Displays/exhibits Speaker program spend (meals, speaker fees, expenses) Speaker training Home office meals with HCPs Consultant payments Advisory boards Investigator payments/Trial costs Grants (educational, sponsorship, IST) Charitable contributions Advertising costs (media, DTC)
  • 31. Risks of a Robust System 20 We’ve Got an App for That What you have MORE of: Data From more sources In more detail Flexibility (being in one system) Greater ability to analyze data What you may NOT have more of: IT headcount to continue development Operational headcount to monitor data explosion Headcount/expertise to analyze data What may outside (OIG/AG) expectations be?
  • 32. Monitoring: What, Who, When, How? 21 What are you monitoring? Accuracy & completeness of data Potential policy violations Who is responsible for monitoring? Individuals who ‘spend’ Business units & departments who own or manage the spend Corporate Compliance (or Dept. that reports spend) When Should monitoring be ‘scheduled’? How Making monitoring user-friendly
  • 33. Opportunities for Improved Compliance 22 Monitoring The low hanging fruit Aggregate spend on individual HCP across the company Dine & dash (view data by rep – multiple lunches/same day) Value of items/textbooks (internal policy limits) Meal policy infractions (limits, venue, prohibitions) Speaker program policy infractions (attendees, venue, etc.) Speaker or consultant use across all departments More challenging Matching product detailed to HCP specialty. Requires robust customer master data Potential Conflicts of Interest Identifying agg. spend across related entities (HCP/HCO)
  • 34. Auditing an Aggregate Spend System
  • 35. Importance of State Law Knowledge in Designing Audits 24 Who, What, Where and When Who is the covered? doctors, nurses, managed care, hospitals What is covered? Meals, consultants, clinical trials, speakers, government pricing Where? Offices, hospitals, CME, conventions, When? Monthly, semi annual, yearly, calendar vs other time period Was this ever audited before and by whom? How often? Auditor experience Internal and external resources
  • 36. National Verses Individual State Samples 25 Does the national sample suffice for a state? Products Employees Field sales vs HQ Location HQ vs Regional Office vs R&D vs Manufacturing Cost of national audit sample is much lower than sampling by state 100% vs some reasonable sample population PhRMA Code vs State Laws
  • 37. Types of Spend to Audit & the Controls 26 What is covered? Meals, consultants, clinical trials, speakers, government pricing Controls Policies and procedures Control documents invoices, contracts, expense reports, payroll expenses, accruals Review and approval Automated (computer generated) vs manual (signature of manager) Monitoring Exception Reports Warning notices Audits
  • 38. Audit Reports 27 Executive Summary Scope and objective Sample size Procedures Detailed observations Recommendations Management response; who and when

  • 44. Balancing the Interests In depth analysis of testimony received. Clarified the regulations where necessary. Made substantive changes with 3 goals in mind: To limit industry interactions with health care practitioners that may influence prescribing patterns and/or affect the care patients receive. To increase transparency surrounding industry payments to covered recipients. To not unduly restrict beneficial industry interactions with health care practitioners/other covered recipients that increase access to advances in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease.
  • 45. Code of Conduct Restrictions
  • 46. Who is Subject to the Code of Conduct Restrictions? Pharmaceutical or Medical Device Manufacturing Companies (“PMDMC”) that employ or contract with pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturer agents, and: Are engaged in the production, preparation, propagation, compounding, conversion or processing of prescription drugs, biologics, or medical devices, either directly or indirectly or Are directly engaged in the packaging, repackaging, labeling, relabeling or distribution of prescription drugs, biologics or medical devices.

How do we assess the potential impact of institutional disclosures to the company? Follow-up: To HCPs? To the institution?
  • 58. Will trade associations continue to be involved? How will AdvaMed, PhRMA, BIO and similar organizations continue to be proactive? The legislative arms of these groups have worked to educate legislatures to defeat bills and, in states like MA, to amend the bills to better enable compliance. Can industry through the trade groups gain more participation from medical and patient groups? The question about physician interest in these laws keeps coming up, but are doctors put off by the prospect of aligning with the pharma industry? Will the trade groups continue to be most involved before laws pass or will they sue again (consider the success or failure of the ongoing litigation in Vermont) What is the role of other less formal groups, like the Ad Hoc Compliance group counseled by King & Spalding or the consortium of companies updated by Hogan & Hartson on reporting laws (among other disclosure or transparency laws)?
