Re: backdating reports

But, then if they do that and your initials are on it, how do you prove you didn't alter the record yourself. Of course they are ultimately liable for it if they sign it, and what reason would the MT have to back date (unless to make it look like she wasn't behind in work which really doesn't make sense except on a scale of days not months or more).

I remember years ago the practice I worked for had the malpractice carrier come in with a presentation on this kind of thing. If I recall correctly (and I'm getting a sense of deja vu here that we've discussed this before), ink in pens has markers in it which could identify when that pen was made, so if a note was dated 1984 and signed with a pen that wasn't made until 5 years later it could be detected. I'd wonder the same about printer inks - though I have a hard time believing anyone goes to this much trouble to show a record was falsified.

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.

The simple solution is to put the correct information on the record, send it to him in a digital medium, and tell him he can do whatever he wants with it after that.
