How warranties, discounts, GPO activities are governed by Safe Harbor regulations. Part 2.

: An earlier article dealt with the general background of the Safe Harbor regulations issued by the Department of Health and Human Services in July 1991. That article also briefly outlined several parts of the regulations which are of lesser interest to hospital materials managers. In this dialogue, Dr. Decker develops those parts of the regulations that are of primary concern of hospital materials managers. A subsequent article will brief several court cases that were decided before the regulations were finally promulgated and will offer some conclusions and recommendations. This is Part 2 of a three-part series.
