Policy & Legislation
Policy should protect patients and preserve responsible innovation.
SCAN tracks regenerative medicine policy and supports frameworks that combine access, informed consent, ethical standards, and accountability.
Policy intro
A fast-moving landscape across the states
Regenerative medicine policy is evolving quickly across the states. Some proposals focus on disclosure. Others focus on physician protections, authorization, research, or product oversight. SCAN helps translate these developments into practical policy principles.
Policy principles
Five principles guiding SCAN's policy work
Access
Patients should not face unnecessary barriers to responsible care and innovation.
Safety
Patients need clear disclosure, informed consent, and clinician accountability.
Standards
Ethical sourcing, transparent product handling, and professional oversight should be expected.
Truthfulness
Marketing should not outrun evidence.
State leadership
States can create practical frameworks that support access while protecting patients.
