Previous Hearings

Committee: Discipline
Decision Date: 27 Feb 2017
Summary:

On February 27, 2017, the Discipline Committee found that Dr. Timothy Gordon Remillard committed an act of professional misconduct in that he has engaged in conduct or an act or acts relevant to the practice of medicine that, having regard to all the circumstances, would reasonably be regarded by members as disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional.

At all material times, Dr. Remillard practised family medicine in a family health group (the “Group”) in a clinic in Thornbury, Ontario. The Group was composed of a number of physicians,including Dr. Remillard and Dr. X. The Group shared an electronic medical records system (“EMR”). The medical records of all patients of the Group were maintained in the EMR.

In the period preceding the events at issue in this hearing, the relationship between Dr. Remillard and Dr. X had become acrimonious, with each physician accusing the other of various types of misbehaviour. In the context of the deteriorating relationship between the two physicians, Dr. Remillard engaged in the following acts in 2014:

In transferring patient charts from the Group EMR to Dr. X, for patients who were orphaned or had been patients of Dr. Remillard or other physicians in the Group, but were now patients of Dr.X, Dr. Remillard deleted his entries from the patients’ electronic charts, including family histories, diagnoses, diagnostic results, letters, forms and documents. The record deletion was not in accordance with proper document retention practices and policies.

After the deletions were discovered and brought to his attention, Dr. Remillard indicates that he restored the information to the EMR that he had previously deleted.

The Discipline Committee ordered and directed that:
- The Registrar suspend Dr. Remillard’s Certificate of Registration for a three (3) month period, effective immediately.
- The Registrar impose the following term, condition and limitation on Dr. Remillard’s certificate of registration:
o At his own expense, Dr. Remillard shall participate in and successfully complete, within six (6) months of the date of this Order, individualized instruction in medical ethics satisfactory to the College, with an instructor selected by the College. The instructor shall provide a summative report to the College including his or her conclusion about whether the instruction was completed successfully by Dr. Remillard.
- Dr. Remillard appear before the panel to be reprimanded.
- Dr. Remillard pay costs to the College for a one day hearing in the amount of $5,000.00 within 30 days of the date of this Order.

At the conclusion of the hearing, the Committee administered the public reprimand.
