Executive Summary
The US Veterans Administration, which runs a vast network of hospitals and medical facilities, has proposed a new rule designed to curb the influence of sales representatives on their healthcare staff. Under it, drug reps would be required to make appointments before entering VA facilities – as opposed to open and unrestricted access - and for the most part they would be denied access to patient care areas.
