CDRH Employee Surveillance Went Too Far, OIG, Lawmakers Say-thegraysheet: CDRH Director Jeffrey Shuren went too far in the computer surveillance he permitted of five device center scientists beginning in 2010, according to a report from the HHS Office of Inspector General. But except for more bad press and potential implications for staff morale, it appears neither Shuren nor the agency are imminently facing any penalties for the matter. OIG says that an updated internal computer-monitoring policy (PDF) issued by FDA last September, but not released until last week, pre-emptively addressed all of the reform recommendations made in the inspector’s report, released Feb. 26 in conjunction with a House Oversight and Investigations Committee hearing.
