Registrant: Dr. Eric Galmut
Complaint File Number: 19-029
Decision: The IC accepted the Consent to a Reprimand executed on September 14, 2019.
Description & Reasons: Dr. Galmut recognizes that the IC views altering medical records to be a serious matter.

Although the substance of the changes to the records in this case was not medically significant in terms of effect on subsequent patient care, a registrant has a professional obligation to maintain medical records in accordance with the Professional Practice Standard: Medical Record Keeping, which includes ensuring that any changes made to records preserve the content of the record before the change, and identify the change, with an annotation as to date and author.  This matter was strictly a record keeping issue and not a reflection of Dr. Galmut's medical abilities.
