Re: backdating reports

That doesn't make it wrong or unethical, either.

If it was my medical record, I could care less *what* the dates of dictation
and transcription were originally or were changed to. It's the other stuff
that I'm concerned about (proper grammar and sentence structure, correctly
spelled words, accuracy regarding treatment received, etc.)

Yeah, it is doing what the client told you to do, and the client is
telling you to lie. That doesn't make it right or ethical.

Not lying - it's doing what your client told you to do. It's not up to me
to be their conscience. If they tell me to put redictated on a report I
know darned well they never dictated in the first place, no different.

However, it's not MY responsibility in end. Same would go for me
though. I'd certainly not lie about it in court. They should think of
that before they pull that stuff.
