Yes I have said something to this person, but she just ignores me. She has a tendency to start yelling which makes it a very hostile work environment.

I am a nursing supervisor in a Methadone clinic and work with several counselors. One of the counselors is very unprofessional. I discovered that she is altering my admission assessments. They are still in paper format. She is putting information in the assessment about patients that isn't true. Saying that they have numerous psychiatric hospitalizations when they have only been to the emergency room for a panic attack related to withdrawal. The question is have they had any psychiatric hospitalizations, to which I answered no. She feels that an emergency room visit constitutes hospitalization. I have signed the document and she proceeds to go back and alter the documentation after I have completed the forms. I have reported this to my director, but she has a business degree, not a health care degree. I don't know how to address this situation. Quitting my job isn't an option, I really like the job, but don't know stress the importance of another person not being able to alter my assessments. First of all this is illegal and what she is putting in my assessment is not factual.
