Forbes: Why Do We Care About Doctor Self Referrals?
Let’s say a doctor refers a patient for an MRI scan to a clinic he has a financial interest in. Or sends a patient for a series of tests to a lab he owns. Should we care about any of this? We probably wouldn’t if patients paid for their own care with their own money. But when insurance pays the bills, the medical marketplace becomes like an arms race – with providers and payers constantly battling over what will be covered and will be paid.

Compounding Practices and Their Impact on Product Quality
BY MARGARET SPEED RICCI AND HANNS-CHRISTIAN MAHLER
Protein biopharmaceuticals are frequently prepared aseptically in a hospital pharmacy or manufactured in advance in a compounding facility or center, and the ready-to-administer preparations are likely subjected to a holding time before use. Aseptic preparation (or “traditional” compounding) of ready-to-administer parenteral preparations by dilution, reconstitution, or infusion preparation can be done for individual patients within a hospital pharmacy, whereas bulk production (or “nontraditional” compounding) of ready-to-administer preparations at compounding centers is considered manufacturing. Because of the scale of production and potentially significant holding times of the compounded products, general good practice (GxP) manufacturing considerations should be required.
