On July 11, 2017 a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between CRNBC and Sara Mitchell-Banks of Powell River, to remediate practice issues related to documentation, professional boundaries, critical thinking and clinical judgement.
In summary, the Inquiry Committee concluded that the Registrant failed to assess some patients and articulate a sufficient differential diagnosis process, failed to restrict activities to the appropriate scope of practice, used photography as a clinical tool without written consent and without adhering to the requisite record retention, rewrote a page in a medicolegal record and destroyed the original, and communicated to some patients inappropriately.
The Registrant voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a Limit on practice that prohibits work in rural or remote areas or in workplaces without supervision by a healthcare professional. The Registrant also consented to four onsite peer reviews of her practice and remedial education. The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
