Cloning Mental Health notes
hi there, what do you all think about the following: I discovered that a coworker, another provider at my clinic, copied and pasted my entire mental health intake note without giving me credit. The provider signed the intake My initial intake note is about three years old, the provider just copied it. The provider added a diagnosis and clicked on two or three additional boxes. About 98% are copied, verbatim, without any quote or indication that I wrote the note and did the intake. Besides the fact, that I feel upset, I am not sure whether I need to report this. I am mainly concerned about patient care, since my evaluation has been done three years ago and may not reflect the current state of this patient. Any thoughts are appreciated. very much.
