Watch the Regents Health Services Committee Meeting of Feb. 10

Yes, it happened last week and yours truly, although he downloaded the event, could not go through it until now. Basically, the meeting was largely composed of reports by UC president Drake and others dealing with the coronavirus situation and its effects on UC Health and student health.

There was also a report about a homelessness initiative by UC-San Francisco and about the economic impact of UC Health.

The main decision-making component was an approval of a conflict of interest disclosure and prevention plan for UC Health, after some unfavorable publicity about such matters. Among the prohibitions (with some very limited provisos):

• Gifts from Industry to any UC employee (including faculty), medical staff, workforce member, trainee or student;

• Participation in speakers’ bureaus;

• Ghostwriting activities;

• Travel preceptorships;

• Receipt of pharmaceutical samples;

• Receipt of medical device samples;

• Receipt of free equipment or software; and

• Industry-sponsored Chairs or Fellowships.

As we have often noted, the Regents "preserve" their recordings for only one year. We preserve them indefinitely.
