class="singleblogpost-author">By Pat Schaumann, CMP, CSEP, DMCP, HMCC | Nov 22, 2024</p> </div> </div> <div class="row singleblogpost-content"> <div ><p>Donald Trump’s influence on the medical meeting industry will depend on multiple factors, including his policies, public sentiment and economic priorities. Here are some possible areas of impact to consider.<br /></p><h2><strong>1. Healthcare Policy and Funding</strong><br /></h2><ul><li><strong>Regulatory Changes:</strong> Trump’s previous focus on deregulation could potentially simplify processes for clinical trials or medical research, but this might also raise concerns about oversight and safety.<br /></li><li><strong>Pharmaceutical Pricing:</strong> Trump has emphasized lowering drug prices, which could shift priorities for pharma companies. This might affect the budgets available for medical meetings and congresses.<strong> </strong></li><li><strong>Insurance Coverage:</strong> If changes to healthcare legislation were enacted, they could influence patient care models and research funding, indirectly impacting topics and attendance at meetings.<br /></li></ul><h2><strong>2. Travel and Immigration Policies</strong><br /></h2><ul><li><strong>Visa Restrictions:</strong> Policies on visas and immigration could affect international attendance at U.S.-based medical congresses, impacting global collaboration in science and medicine.<br /></li><li><strong>Trade Relations:</strong> Tariffs or tensions with specific countries could affect partnerships with international organizations or sponsors in medical events.<br /></li></ul><h2><strong>3. Corporate and Pharma Investments</strong><br /></h2><ul><li>If economic policies under Trump are perceived as beneficial to big corporations, pharmaceutical companies may see increased profits, which could translate to more robust investment in medical education, sponsorships and events. </li><li>Conversely, if budgets are constrained by new pricing regulations, it could lead to reduced spending on meetings and conferences.<br /></li></ul><h2><strong>4. Public Perception and Advocacy</strong><br /></h2><ul><li>Trump’s stance on COVID-19 and other health issues has been polarizing. This could influence attendance or the thematic focus of medical events, particularly where topics like pandemic preparedness or public health strategies are central.<br /></li></ul><h2><strong>5. Industry Innovation</strong><br /></h2><ul><li><strong>Focus on American innovation: </strong>If policies incentivize domestic innovation, there could be a rise in U.S.-based medical research and meetings showcasing advancements.<br /></li></ul><h2><strong>6. Global Competition</strong><br /></h2><ul><li>If international relations grow tense, some foreign entities might choose non-U.S. destinations for medical congresses, especially in Europe or Asia.<br /></li><li>As a meeting planner, you might want to prepare for these potential shifts by focusing on flexible planning strategies, monitoring regulatory updates and staying aligned with corporate priorities. Engaging with key stakeholders to assess their perspectives on the political climate will also help in forecasting the potential impacts.<br /></li></ul><a href="/education/certificate-programs/healthcare-meeting-compliance"><img src="/images/default-source/mpiheadshots/screenshot-2024-11-22-at-10-43-33-am.png?sfvrsn=98c45755_1" alt="" sf-size="100" /></a><h2><strong><br />OPEN PAYMENTS</strong><br /></h2><p>If Donald Trump were to revisit healthcare policies during another term, his administration might aim to modify, scale back or alter programs like <strong>Open Payments</strong>, a transparency initiative under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Open Payments, managed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), requires pharmaceutical and medical device companies to report financial relationships with physicians and teaching hospitals.<br /></p><h2><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Potential Impacts of a Trump Presidency on Open Payments:</span></strong><br /></h2><h2><strong>1. Deregulation Focus</strong><br /></h2><ul><li>Trump's prior focus on reducing regulatory burdens for businesses could lead to attempts to <strong>weaken reporting requirements</strong> for Open Payments. This might include raising the dollar thresholds for reporting or narrowing the types of transactions that must be disclosed. </li><li>Pharmaceutical and device companies may advocate for fewer restrictions to reduce compliance costs, which could resonate with Trump’s pro-business agenda.<br /></li></ul><h2><strong>2. Reduced Enforcement or Oversight</strong><br /></h2><ul><li>If funding for CMS or other oversight bodies is reduced, enforcement of Open Payments requirements could become less rigorous, leading to fewer audits or investigations into noncompliance.<br /></li></ul><h2><strong>3. Transparency Balancing Act</strong><br /></h2><ul><li>While Trump often supported deregulatory policies, he also spoke about drug price transparency and reducing healthcare costs. Maintaining or even expanding Open Payments might align with a populist message of holding large companies accountable, particularly if it’s framed as benefiting patients.<br /></li></ul><h2><strong>4. Indirect Impacts from ACA Revisions</strong><br /></h2><ul><li>Any effort to <strong>repeal or replace parts of the ACA</strong> could put programs like Open Payments at risk of elimination or modification, as they are tied to the ACA infrastructure.<br /></li></ul><h2><strong>5. Impact on Industry Relationships</strong><br /></h2><ul><li>If changes were made to reporting requirements, it could alter the visibility of financial relationships between healthcare providers and industry. This might affect public trust and perceptions about the influence of industry funding in medicine.<br /></li></ul><h2><strong>What This Means for Medical Meetings</strong></h2><ul><li>Changes to Open Payments could influence how pharmaceutical and device companies approach sponsorship and education at medical meetings.<br /></li><li>If reporting thresholds are raised or requirements are reduced, companies may feel less constrained in supporting events or covering expenses like speaker fees, travel and meals.<br /></li><li>Conversely, stricter rules could lead to more conservative spending, impacting funding for educational initiatives and collaborations.<br /></li></ul><p>The future of Open Payments under Trump would depend on the administration’s prioritization of healthcare reform versus deregulation.
