Some hospitals have also increased restrictions on drug reps. At some institutions, they have to check in when on property, check out when they leave, and are heavily restricted in what areas they can go.

I know Harvard Medical School has a limit on how much income MD's can receive outside of their hospital/academic salary, probably in part to check the influence of these reps. I'm not sure if other medical schools/hospitals have this policy.
