POLICY COMMITTEE REPORT Committee Members: Dr. Camnitz, Chair; Dr. Greene; Mrs. Blizzard and Judge Lewis 1. Old Business a. Position Statement Review continued i. Self- Treatment and Treatment of Family Members and Others with Whom Significant Emotional Relationships Exist (APPENDIX A) 4 March 21-23, 2012 Issue: In November 2009, the Board approved the Policy Committee’s recommendation to review Position Statements at least once every four years. A review schedule has been formulated for the Committee’s consideration. 3/2011 Committee Discussion: Mr. Brosius suggested that the Board may need to establish some bright lines, because the current position statement leaves room for some treatments that the Board may deem unethical depending on physician interpretation. Dr. Loomis suggested that he preferred a hardline approach and would recommend eliminating minor treatment of illness. He indicated that the Board’s interest is for the patients to receive the best care. Dr. Greene agreed that eliminating treatment of minor illness would remove any room for confusion, but also felt we should leave the ability to treat during an emergency in the position statement. Dr. Camnitz indicated that he did not like the vagueness of the position statement and would prefer it be more specific regarding over-the-counter medications and prescription medications, possibly indicating specific schedules that would be restricted. The Committee further discussed chronic versus acute. It was also recommended that “physician” should be replaced with “licensee” to be consistent with edits made in previous position statement reviews. 3/2011 Committee Recommendation: Table issue for the Legal Department to incorporate the recommendations from the Committee discussion. 3/2011 Board Action: No Action necessary. This Position Statement has now been assigned to a Task Force specifically analyzing the issue and headed by Dr. Loomis. 5/2011 Committee Discussion: Dr. Loomis reported that the Task Force was scheduled to meet in June 2011. Dr. Kirby stated that the AMA has a statement regarding treatment of professional peers and suggested that something similar be included in our position statement. 5/2011 Committee Recommendation: Table issue until Task Force report is presented to the Committee. Dr. Kirby is to provide the AMA position prior to the Task Force meeting. 5/2011 Board Action: Accept Committee recommendation 7/2011 Committee Discussion: The Committee discussed the potential benefits of revising the current position statement. Comments were received by Board members and senior staff that were present. One comment that had been received numerous times is that the licensees would like the terms of the position statement better defined. The Committee agreed that prescribing narcotics to one’s self or family members is never appropriate. It was suggested that adopting a rule prohibiting prescribing narcotics to one’s self or family members might be a more efficient method for the Board to enforce compliance. The Committee concurred. There was additional discussion that identifying what constitutes a significant emotional relationship may be difficult. 7/2011 Committee Recommendation: Instruct Legal to begin drafting a rule to cover prescribing narcotics to one’s self or family member. The Office of the Medical Director is to provide definitions to help clarify the Board’s statement. The proposed changes will be provided to the Committee and Task Force for review. 7/2011 Board Action: Accept Committee recommendation. 5 March 21-23, 2012 9/2011 Committee Discussion: The Committee reviewed the proposed revised position statement as well as the proposed rule changes for PAs, NPs and physicians. There was also discussion regarding the large response we received from the Board licensee population. There was discussion regarding the need to identify with whom an emotional relationship may exist. It was felt that the revised position statement could be modified to better reflect the position on the Board. Additionally the consensus of the Committee was that the proposed rules changes were appropriate and should go forward. 9/2011 Committee Recommendation: Dr. Camnitz will work with Mr. Brosius and Dr. Kirby to revise the position statement and present it to the Committee at the November Board meeting. Proceed with the rule-making process on the proposed rule change. 9/2012 Board Action: Accept Committee recommendation. 1/2012 Committee Discussion: The Committee reviewed the proposed revised position statement. The changes discussed have been incorporated in the proposed position statement. It was also reported that the proposed rules adopted by the Board in September will be filed this month with an anticipated effective date of June/July 2012. 1/2012 Committee Recommendation: Tentatively approve proposed position statement with changes so that it may be circulated to interested parties and Self –Treatment Task Force for comments and suggestions. 01/2012 Board Action: Accept Committee Recommendation. 3/2012 Committee discussion: The Committee discussed additional proposed changes to the current position statement. It was suggested that the position statement include language regarding prohibiting licensees from prescribing controlled substances to themselves or immediate family members. Language was also added suggesting that medical records be provided to the patient’s primary care provider. 3/0212 Committee Recommendation: Approve proposed position statement including language regarding proposed rule pertaining to controlled substances. The rule language would be added after the rules are approved by the Rules Review Commission. 3/2012 Board Action: Approve Committee recommendation. 1. Old Business: a. Position Statement Review ii. Availability of Physicians to Their Patients (APPENDIX B) 9/2011 Committee Discussion: The Committee reviewed the current position statement. It was suggested that the term physician be replaced with licensee in order to be consistent with past revisions to the Board’s position statements. Dr. Kirby pointed out the need to relate this position statement to providers who are providing care through telemedicine. 9/2011 Committee Recommendation: The staff is to provide a revised position statement at the November Committee meeting. 6 March 21-23, 2012 9/2011 Board Action: Accept Committee recommendation. 1/2012 Committee Discussion: The Committee reviewed the proposed revised position statement.

That language is now incorporated in the working draft of the position statement. Dr. Kirby expressed concern regarding recognition of episodic care pertaining to after-hours coverage. Ms. Whited asked for the Board to allow NCMS an opportunity to comment on the position statement after Dr. Kirby’s suggestions are included within the position statement. 3/2012 Committee Recommendation: Table until the Committee can address Dr. Kirby’s concerns. 3/2012 Board Action: Approve Committee recommendation. 2.

BEST PRACTICES COMMITTEE The Best Practices Committee of the North Carolina Medical Board was called to order at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 22, 2012, at the office of the Medical Board. Members present were: Ms. Pamela Blizzard, Chair; Dr. Janice Huff and Ms. Thelma Lennon. Also present were: David Henderson, Dr. Scott Kirby, Christina Apperson, Todd Brosius and Maureen Bedell. 1. Old Business a. Update on “CPEP East” Christina Apperson provided a summary of the CPEP East Overview and Timeline. The group briefly discussed the Board’s role in CPEP East introductions/discussions with North Carolina organizations. b. Proposed speakers regarding telemedicine Christina Apperson is to contact representatives of the Georgia Partnership for Telehealth to speak at the May meeting. 2. New Business a. The committee heard a report from David Henderson, Dr. Scott Kirby and Todd Brosius concerning a meeting they attended recently concerning a proposed telemedicine model. Involved groups include American Well, Blue Cross, UNC, and Walgreens. The most recently proposed delivery model/study would include a kiosk in a Walgreens store to be manned by a pharmacist. A patient would have online access to a family practice physician via telemedicine link-up for a limited number of conditions. Walgreens would fill any needed prescriptions. MEDICAL SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROJECT The Medical School Education Outreach Project group was called to order at 12:15 p.m. on March 22, 2012 at the office of the Medical Board. Members present were: Peggy Robinson, PA-C, Chair; Janice Huff, MD, and Pamela Blizzard. Also present were: Jean Fisher-Brinkley; Nancy Hemphill; and Dena Konkel. There were no absences. 1. Old Business a. We reviewed the discussion from our February 24 meeting/ conference call. 2. New Business a. The Committee brainstormed ideas for the professionalism module. 1. Truthfulness/ candor: example: on license applications. Disclose misdemeanors; ask your lawyer for advice about “expungements”; report academic probation. 18 March 21-23, 2012 2. Accountability/ respect for the Board. Timeliness, compliance with institutional deadlines, such as keeping up with clinical requirements for CME on infections, etc. Keep records of everywhere you’ve ever worked or lived, for future license applications. Keep records of any criminal history. 3. Compassion, humanity. Studies show that students entering medical school and new physicians entering residency have high levels of caring, but then lose that over time. Compassion is an important aspect of patient care. 4. Communication: include statistics about poor communication being the base of many complaints and professional liability payments. 5. Humility vs. arrogance/ team orientation/ don’t be a disruptive physician. Interact with your patients and staff with respect. 6. Don’t have sex with patients or staff. 7. Self-reflection. This is part of MOL. Remember why you went to medical school. Value wellness and strive for a balance between your work and personal life. Avoid burnout. 8. Put the patient’s needs first. Use patient handoffs as example. Even with restrictions on work hours for residents, patient care has priority over the clock, your family life, etc. It is critical that the next set of providers has the information needed to care for the patient. 9. Cross-cultural awareness. Avoid being disdainful of a patient’s lifestyle or beliefs. Be careful when discussing “hot button” issues, like a child’s obesity (which may conflict with a cultural norm or be perceived as insulting to the parent.) To become more culturally sensitive, a physician could participate in community events, or take a class in a language. b. Action items: 1. Jean will contact Dr. Patrick Ober at Wake Forest University Medical School, to learn whether this module will still be useful to his students; when it might be used in their curriculum; and whether our module will duplicate or reinforce their current message about professionalism. 2. Nancy will contact AHEConnect, to learn about: what they need from the Board for curriculum development; their time requirements to develop the module; and their ideas on integrating video interviews or other clips into the module. 3. Nancy or Jean will contact Dr. Gerancher to see whether physicians in her residency program might also serve as a test case for the module. 4. Staff will develop a “meaty” outline in the next few weeks, and will distribute that to committee members for their review. 19 March 21-23, 2012 ADJOURNMENT This meeting was adjourned at 1:40 p.m. March 23, 2012. _____________________________________________________ Thomas R. Hill, MD Secretary/Treasurer 20 March 21-23, 2012 APPENDIX A CURRENT POSITION STATEMENT: Self-treatment and treatment of family members and others with whom significant emotional relationships exist* It is the position of the North Carolina Medical Board that, except for minor illnesses and emergencies, physicians should not treat, medically or surgically, or prescribe for themselves, their family members, or others with whom they have significant emotional relationships. The Board strongly believes that such treatment and prescribing practices are inappropriate and may result in less than optimal care being provided. A variety of factors, including personal feelings and attitudes that will inevitably affect judgment, will compromise the objectivity of the physician and make the delivery of sound medical care problematic in such situations, while real patient autonomy and informed consent may be sacrificed. When a minor illness or emergency requires self-treatment or treatment of a family member or other person with whom the physician has a significant emotional relationship, the physician must prepare and keep a proper written record of that treatment, including but not limited to prescriptions written and the medical indications for them. Record keeping is too frequently neglected when physicians manage such cases. The Board expects physicians to delegate the medical and surgical care of themselves, their families, and those with whom they have significant emotional relationships to one or more of their colleagues in order to ensure appropriate and objective care is provided and to avoid misunderstandings related to their prescribing practices. *This position statement was formerly titled, "Treatment of and Prescribing for Family Members." (Adopted May 1991) (Amended May 1996; May 2000; March 2002; September 2005) PROPOSED CHANGES Self-treatment and treatment of family members It is the Board’s position that it is not appropriate for licensees to write prescriptions for controlled substances or to perform procedures on themselves or their family members. Rules 32B .1001, 32S .0212, and 32M .0109 prohibit licensees from prescribing controlled substances (including all narcotics) to themselves or immediate family members. In addition, licensees should not treat their own chronic conditions or those of their immediate family members or others with whom the licensee has a significant emotional relationship. In such situations, professional objectivity may be compromised, and the licensee’s personal feelings may unduly influence his or her professional judgment, thereby interfering with care. There are, however, certain limited situations in which it may be appropriate for licensees to treat themselves, their family members, or others with whom the licensee has a significant emotional relationship. 21 March 21-23, 2012 1. Emergency Conditions. In an emergency situation, when no other qualified licensee is available, it is acceptable for licensees to treat themselves or their family members until another licensee becomes available. 2. Urgent Situations. There may be instances when licensees or family members do not have their prescribed medications or easy physician access. It may be appropriate for licensees to call in provide short term prescriptions. 3. Acute Minor Illnesses within Clinical Competence. While licensees should not serve as primary or regular care providers for themselves or their family members, there are certain situations in which routine care may be acceptable. Examples would be treatment of a simple urinary tract infection antibiotic-induced fungal infections or prescribing ear drops for a family member with external otitis. It is the expectation of the Board that licensees will not treat recurrent acute problems. 4. Over the Counter Medication. This position statement is not intended to prevent licensees from suggesting over the counter medications or other non-prescriptive modalities for themselves or family members, as a lay person might. Licensees who act in accord with this position statement will be held to the same standard of care applicable to licensees providing treatment for patients who are unrelated to them. Thus, licensees should not treat problems beyond their expertise or training and should be sure to maintain an appropriate medical record documenting any care that is given. It may also be prudent to provide a copy of the medical record to the patient’s primary care provider. Licensees who inappropriately treat themselves, their family members or others with whom they have a significant emotional relationship should be aware that they may be subject to disciplinary action by the Board. COMMENTS RECEIVED: Thanks for asking - looks like an improvement and fine as is. --Nicholas E Stratas, MD I think this is an improvement over previous Position Statement. It clarifies what a Physician can do and not do. In the past many Physicians have been confused over whether or not they could handle minor illnesses of their family members. I think there should be a record kept of these treatments especially if prescriptions of controlled substances are involved. --John Foust, MD Changes represent practical improvement, but would recommend that a record be kept of Rx. Best regards, --Charles Duckett, MD This revision is an improvement in that there are concrete examples of when it is acceptable for a licensee to provide care or prescribe for self, family or loved ones. In keeping with the statement at the close of the position statement pertaining to maintaining the same level of quality care provided to all patients there should be a record keeping requirement and that such a record should be forwarded to the primary care provider of the recipient of care. Best to all my colleagues down there in Raleigh. --Michael Norins, MD This version is much better. I do think it would be useful to ask that physicians keep a personal record of such instances, a record that can be reviewed, if indicated, by the Board on request. --Walter Pories, MD 22 March 21-23, 2012 I actually like some parts of both---so, I recommend using the old statement in its entirety, and inserting the paragraph about the specific examples of exceptions from the new statement after paragraph #2, and using the last paragraph of the new statement by adding it after the last paragraph of the old statement. I wish everyone at the Board a Happy New Year! --Wayne VonSeggen, MD I feel the "Draft Position" is the best and most appropriate with one minor exception. I would not include "minor urinary infections" as an example of a minor illness since these can be the first sign of a major problem, especially in pediatrics. I appreciate being asked for my input. --Bryant Galusha, MD Much improved with concrete examples. As my esteemed colleagues, Walter and Buddy, as well as my other colleague, Michael have described, it would be wise to maintain the record keeping requirement. Best to all. --Art McCulloch, MD I agree this is a much clearer statement. --Elizabeth Kanof, MD Thanks for the opportunity to comment. We support the draft position statement on selftreatment and the three rule changes prohibiting the prescribing of controlled substances to one's self or family members by MDs/DOs, NPs and PAs. -- Michael R. Borden, CAE Chief Executive Officer, NC Academy of Physician Assistants While a tremendous improvement over the original proposed policy, this policy is now without reason. It is appropriate for someone to diagnose and treat himself or a family member for an acute event, with unknown or uncertain causation, but not prescribe or refill chronic medications for himself/herself for chronic maintenance medications where the medical issue is well documented. And acting as a “Lay person” in giving advice is something that a physician can actually be claiming to be doing!!?? While potentially foolish, it seems ridiculous to me that an attorney can draw up his/her own legal documents, but a physician has an ethical reason not to treat or prescribe for himself/herself. This is not medical ethics. It is enforcement of medical stupidity. And the line remains unclear based on the current policy. --Jim Stackhouse, MD The new NCMB policy seems pretty reasonable to me...so I can call in my own Flonase without fear. --Sandra M Brown, MD I believe the new position paper is excellent. I thought all of the responses that were sent to me are appropriate. I do think that maintaining appropriate medical records should be further emphasized either by underlining or capitalizing the statement in the position paper. I really think it is a good job. --A. T. Pagter, Jr., MD It seems to me that the first two sentences should be merged/edited to include "Self", "Family Members", and "those with whom a significant emotional relationship exists" for all of those 23 March 21-23, 2012 restricted activities. When you read it like it is, it seems like you are parsing the difference. Otherwise, the current edited version is OK. --Wayne VonSeggen, PA-C Dr. Herring submitted a revised version of the proposed Position Statement. It will be available during the Policy Committee meeting. --Stephen Herring, MD 24 March 21-23, 2012 APPENDIX B CURRENT POSITION STATEMENT: Availability of physicians to their patients It is the position of the North Carolina Medical Board that once a physician-patient relationship is created, it is the duty of the physician to provide care whenever it is needed or to assure that proper physician backup is available to take care of the patient during or outside normal office hours. The physician must clearly communicate to the patient orally and provide instructions in writing for securing after hours care if the physician is not generally available after hours or if the physician discontinues after hours coverage. (Adopted July 1993) (Amended May 1996, January 2001, October 2003, July 2006) PROPOSED POSITION STATEMENT: Availability of licensees physicians to their patients It is the position of the North Carolina Medical Board that once a relationship between a licensee and a patient physician-patient relationship is created, it is the duty of the licensee physician to provide care whenever it is needed or to assure that proper physician backup by a healthcare provider is available to take care of the patient during or outside normal office hours. If the licensee is not going to be available after hours, the licensee must provide clear instructions to the patient for securing after-hours care. It is the responsibility of the licensee to ensure that the patient has sufficient information regarding how to secure after-hours care. The physician must clearly communicate to the patient orally and provide instructions in writing for securing after hours care if the physician is not generally available after hours or if the physician discontinues after hours coverage. It should be noted that these duties are applicable to a licensee whether the licensee is practicing telemedicine or practicing medicine through traditional means.

Sexual exploitation encompasses a wide range of behaviors which have in common the intended sexual gratification of the physician. These behaviors include sexual intercourse with a patient (consensual or non-consensual ), touching genitalia with ungloved hands, sexually suggestive comments, asking patients for a date, inappropriate exploration of the patients or physician’s sexual phantasias, touching or exposing genitalia, breast, or other parts of the body in ways not dictated by an appropriate and indicated physical examination, exchanging sexual favors for services. Sexual exploitation is grounds for the suspension, revocation, or other action against a physician’s license. This position statement is based upon the Federation of State Medical Board’s guidelines regarding sexual boundaries. Sexual misconduct by physicians and other health care practitioners is a form of behavior that adversely affects the public welfare and harms patients individually and collectively. Physician sexual misconduct exploits the physician-patient relationship, is a violation of the public trust, and is often known to cause harm, both mentally and physically, to the patient. Regardless of whether sexual misconduct is viewed as emanating from an underlying form of impairment, it is unarguably a violation of the public’s trust. As with other disciplinary actions taken by the Board, Board action against a medical licensee for sexual exploitation of a patient is published by the Board, the nature of the offense being clearly specified. It is also released to the news media, to state and federal government, and to medical and professional organizations. (Adopted May 1991) (Amended April 1996, January 2001, September 2006) 28 March 21-23, 2012 APPENDIX E REQUEST: Mr. Brosius, In response to our telephone conversation today and at the direction of the Chief of the Office of EMS, I am submitting the following issue asking for an official ruling of the Medical Board. The Board’s position will be shared with the state’s Emergency Medical Services and Specialty Care Transport Program Medical Directors. NC General Statute 143-514 places the practice standards for emergency medical personnel under the authority of the NC Medical Board. Using these established standards, NC General Statute 143-508 requires the NC Medical Care Commission to promulgate rules consistent with the Medical Boards practice standards. These rules are 10A NCAC 13P. In order for a credentialed paramedic to practice invasive skills, these rules require the paramedic to practice under the license of the EMS System Medical Director. This Medical Director must be a licensed physician in North Carolina. Having said this, a situation has presented itself to our office that we are unable to address. The scenario is: A physician is on duty in the emergency department of a hospital. A patient arrives that, following assessment, is determined to have overdosed on an illegal narcotic. This physician provides emergency care and the patient is stabilized. This physician serves the local EMS System as their Medical Director. The patient is a paramedic that functions under the license of this physician. The patient (paramedic) was not on duty when treated by the physician (their Medical Director) in the Emergency Department. The dilemma for the physician is twofold. One, he has established a physician / patient relationship with this individual. Two, this individual is a paramedic that practices under his medical license. Does the physician have an obligation to maintain the patient’s confidentiality, or is the physician obligated to report the substance abuse matter to the paramedic’s state credentialing agency? The physician, in his role as system medical director, thinks his knowledge that a paramedic practicing under his license may be a potential risk to the public and those patients under the paramedic’s pre-hospital care. However, ethically the physician realizes the rights of this patient may override his ability to address this situation. Although the EMS rules do allow the medical director the authority to suspend, pending due process review, an individual from practicing under his license, if the medical director exercises this authority he will be required to disclose his reason for suspension during the paramedic’s due process hearing. Also, there is nothing in either the EMS laws or rules that mandate a medical director disclose to the state EMS office his suspension of any person practicing under his license. Taking into account the his patient’s rights (the paramedic), the right of the public to be safe, the rights of the paramedic’s patients, the physician’s liabilities as both caregiver and medical director, etc., how would the Board advise a physician to handle such a situation? I would like to express my appreciation to you and the Board in advance for assistance in resolving this matter. If you have any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at the office phone number listed below. Donnie Donnie S. Sides, Operations Manager 29 March 21-23, 2012 North Carolina Office of Emergency Medical Services APPENDIX F CURRENT POSITION STATEMENT: Advertising and publicity* It is the position of the North Carolina Medical Board that advertising or publicity that is deceptive, false, or misleading constitutes unprofessional conduct under the Medical Practice Act.* The term “advertising” includes oral, written and other types of communication disseminated by or at the direction of a licensee for the purpose of encouraging or soliciting the use of the licensee’s services. At issue is whether a member of the general public would be confused or deceived by the advertising in question. The following general principles are intended to assist licensees in meeting the Board’s expectations: (1) advertisements should not contain false claims or misrepresentations of fact, either expressly or by implication; (2) advertisements should not omit material facts; and (3) licensees should be prepared to substantiate claims made in advertisements. Licensees should avoid advertising and publicity that creates unjustified medical expectations, that are accompanied by deceptive claims, or that imply exclusive or unique skills or remedies. Similarly, a statement that a licensee has cured or successfully treated a large number of patients suffering a particular ailment is deceptive if it implies a certainty of results and/or creates unjustified or misleading expectations. When using patient photographs, they should be of the licensee’s own patients and demonstrate realistic outcomes. Likewise, when a change of circumstances renders advertising inaccurate or misleading, the licensee is expected to make reasonable efforts to correct the advertising within a reasonable time frame. The advent of the Internet and the proliferation of websites purporting to “rate” healthcare providers mean that licensees cannot always control information about themselves in the public domain. However, a licensee is expected to exercise reasonable efforts to bring about the correction or elimination of false or misleading information when he or she becomes aware of it. Physicians Advertising Board Certification The term “board certified” is publicly regarded as evidence of the skill and training of a physician carrying this designation. Accordingly, in order to avoid misleading or deceptive advertising concerning board certification, physicians are expected to meet the following guidelines. No physician should advertise or otherwise hold himself or herself out to the public as being “board certified” without proof of current certification by a specialty board approved by the (1) American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS); (2) the Bureau of Osteopathic Specialists of the American Osteopathic Association (AOA-BOS); (3) the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC); or (4) a board that meets the following requirements: i. the organization requires satisfactory completion of a training program with training, documentation and clinical requirements similar in scope and complexity to ACGME- or AOA-approved programs, in the specialty or subspecialty field of medicine in which the physician seeks certification. Solely experiential or on-the-job training is not sufficient; ii. the organization requires all physicians seeking certification to successfully pass a written or oral examination or both, which tests the applicant’s knowledge and skill in the 30 March 21-23, 2012 specialty or subspecialty area of medicine.
