SHM's Relationship with Industry
The Society of Hospital Medicine has a long standing transparent
approach to our relationship with industry partners. Included in this
web area are the SHM principles for Organizational Relationships, which
have been SHM policy since 2000. For additional background on SHM's
growth, as we work to become a model for other medical societies, please
read To Err is Human from the October 2010 edition of The
Hospitalist, written by SHM's President at the time, Jeff Wiese,
MD, SFHM.
In addition to these principals, SHM is also publishing the SHM
Conflict of Interest (COI) policy and the specific potential COI detail
for all officers, Board members, and editors. This web area also
includes:
- SHM Approach to Communications Regarding a Products, Services,
or Disease states
- SHM Approach to Quality Initiatives: Guidelines and Principles for
Working with Funders
- SHM Approach to Industry for Meetings and Faculty
SHM is also including in
this web area a Disclosure of current Industry Support of SHM

(CMSS) Code for Interaction with Companies which can be found

staff on the Code as well.
