Dr. Marcia Brooks dictated an operative report on 1/3/YYYY, which was transcribed and placed in the patient record on 1/4/YYYY. After review of the operative report, Dr. Brooks dedicated the report because "she did not like the way it read." The transcriptionist transcribed the new dictation, and instructed the file clerk to remove and destroy the original report and place the newly transcribed operative report in the patient's record. Is this the proper way to amend the record? If not, indicate the correct method.
