The American Medical Association (AMA) acknowledges that the industry exists. Recently, they published a set of guidelines that can be found at their site and are general principles.
The AMA will need to speak for itself as an entity regarding active support, passive support, acknowledgement and resistance postures and statements. Speaking for myself, it is good to see the guidelines. It is a new level of dialogue. Nearly all dialogue is beneficial and productive. I can envision that the AMA will see the value and quality available. However, as an organization representing US physicians, their mission and goals are potentially geared in a different direction.
Time will tell how this new mode of healthcare delivery works its way into the public mindset.
