Alaska providers numerous examples of acts that constitute unprofessional conduct including (1) the intentional or negligent disclosure of confidential patient information; (2) the failure to “prepare and maintain accurate, complete, and legible [patient records];” (3) falsifying or impermissibly destroying medical records; and (4) failing to provide a patient with a copy of their medical record within thirty days of the patient’s request.
