Complaints & Reports Outcomes

 

Case File: 180552

Decision Date:
November 05, 2019

Caution

As a result of a complaint, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee decided to caution Dr. Rand Al-Hafidh as follows:

• She must ensure that her chart entries reflect reality. When a procedure is attempted but not actually performed, Dr. Al-Hafidh’s chart notes must not indicate fabricated details about having completed the treatment. 
• She must ensure that she bills only for treatment performed. Dr. Al-Hafidh must be sure that if she attempts a procedure but does not actually complete it, she does not bill for having completed the procedure. 
• She must ensure that she informs a patient when an attempted treatment has not been completed and devise a plan in consultation with the patient to address that shortcoming.
• She must give serious consideration to referring a patient to a specialist when she has knowingly been unable to complete a procedure deemed necessary for the patient. 
• She must be sure to disclose adverse events to patients, such as the perforation of a canal, and discuss the implications and treatment options associated with that adverse outcome. 
• She must ensure that she has proper justification for recommending or initiating treatment on patients, such as through appropriate testing, and must document her rationale for doing so. 
• If she intends to deviate from a treatment plan identified by another dentist in her practice as charted in the patient’s record, she must document her rationale for so doing. 
• She should be careful in charting treatment and submitting claims to insurance companies to ensure that she refers to the correct tooth.
