<br/><br/> "Hospital buying groups are middlemen, negotiating contracts with suppliers of products and services. But unlike most other purchasing agents, these groups are not financed by the hospitals that buy products, but by the companies that sell them, raising questions about whose interests the buying groups serve." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article examines how a hospital buying group's financial interest in the drug company it buys from has raised ethical concerns.
