Date of Decision: 12 Dec 2012
Summary of Decision:
On December 12, 2012, the Discipline Committee found that Dr. Roland Chee Kong Wong committed an act of professional misconduct, in that:

He failed to maintain the standard of practice of the profession with respect to:

his completion of the Special Diet Allowance (SDA) forms, in that he did not take the necessary steps to satisfy himself that the fifteen patients, whose records were before the Committee, had the conditions reported on the forms.
his record-keeping. Dr. Wong's level of documentation in the fifteen charts reviewed supporting confirmation of each condition varied from minimal to non-existent. His OHIP billing, in that Dr. Wong did not obtain sufficient information to attest to the
various medical conditions which he confirmed on the SDA forms. Consequently, he did not meet the requirement of taking a reasonable history of the reported condition prior to billing OHIP for a partial assessment in the fifteen charts reviewed.

He engaged in conduct relevant to the practice of medicine that, having regard to all the circumstances, would reasonably be regarded by members as unprofessional, by confirming diagnoses on SDA forms, without first satisfying himself that the patient had the specified condition.

On January 22, 2014, the Discipline Committee ordered and directed that:

1. The Registrar suspend Dr. Wong's certificate of registration for a period of six months, to commence fourteen (14) days after the date of this Order.
2. Dr. Wong attend before the Panel to be reprimanded.
3. The Registrar impose the following terms, conditions and limitations on Dr. Wong's certificate of registration for a period of one year from the date of Dr. Wong's return to practice, except the conditions in paragraph 3d and f, which shall remain in effect until completion:

a. Within 30 days of his return to practice, Dr. Wong shall participate in and successfully complete a preceptorship in medical record keeping and in the completion of special diet allowance forms with a preceptor who is to be approved by the College in its sole discretion and who has signed an undertaking to the College in the form attached hereto as Schedule A (The Preceptor).

b. Dr. Wong shall abide by all recommendations of his preceptor with respect to practice improvements and professional development. Dr. Wong shall provide 10 to 15 patient charts to his preceptor for review on a monthly basis until the preceptor is satisfied that Dr. Wong's record keeping meets the standard of care and the College approves a reduction in frequency. When the preceptor is satisfied that Dr. Wong's record keeping meets the standard of the profession and the College has approved, the preceptor shall continue the chart review every three months for the remainder of the year. All charts to be selected for the preceptor are to be selected from those patients seen in the previous month. The preceptor shall provide reports to the College at the same frequency as the chart review.

c. Dr. Wong shall retain a copy of all special diet allowance forms which he will submit to his preceptor along with the corresponding patient chart on a monthly basis. The preceptor will review and co-sign every copy of a special diet form and will report any irregularity to the College. (To clarify, the special diet forms need not be co-signed before they are given to the patient).

d. Within 12 months of completing the preceptorship required by paragraph 3a above, Dr. Wong shall undergo reassessment with regard to medical record keeping and his completion of special diet allowance forms by a College appointed assessor. Dr. Wong shall abide by all recommendations with regard to medical record keeping and the completion of special diet allowance forms made by the assessor and the results of the reassessment shall be reported to the College.

e. Dr. Wong shall cooperate with the Compliance Monitoring and Supervision Staff of the College who will conduct inspections of Dr. Wong's OHIP billings and their supporting chart entries. These reviews are to occur during the year at approximately 3, 6, 9 and 12 months from the date of Dr. Wong's return to practice and Dr. Wong shall cooperate with unannounced inspections of his practice and patient charts by a College representative for the purpose of monitoring and enforcing his compliance with the terms of this order. Monitoring this order, including the term under paragraph 3c above, shall include making enquiries of the Ministry of Community and Social Services regarding Dr. Wong's completion of special diet allowance forms.

f. Dr. Wong shall be responsible for any and all costs associated with implementing the terms of this order.

4. Dr. Wong shall within 30 days pay a fine to the Minister of Finance in the amount of $35,000 and Dr. Wong shall provide proof of this payment to the Registrar of the College.

5. Dr. Wong shall within 30 days pay the College its costs in this proceeding in the amount of $26,360.
