The Investigative Committee of
the Board of Medical Examiners of the State of Nevada filed a formal
complaint against Dr. Horne, charging him with one count of malpractice, a
violation of NRS 630.301(4), for conduct which fell below the appropriate
standard of care when he engaged in a relationship with a former patient,
and the facts surrounding this behavior could be considered a violation of
medical ethical behavior. |

A Settlement, Waiver and Consent
Agreement was approved and accepted by the Nevada State Board of Medical
Examiners. The Board entered its Order finding that Dr. Horne engaged in conduct
that is grounds for discipline pursuant to the Medical Practice Act to wit:
malpractice, a violation of NRS 630.301(4), that Dr. Horne engaged in a
relationship with a former patient, and that the facts surrounding this behavior
could be considered a violation of medical ethical behavior. Therefore, Dr.
Horne's conduct fell below the appropriate standard of care, as he failed to use
the reasonable care, skill or knowledge ordinarily used by a like practitioner
in similar circumstances. The Board ordered that Dr. Horne be issued a formal
written public letter of reprimand from the Board; that he be fined in the
amount of $2,500; that he begin evaluation and monitoring, on at least a monthly
basis, within thirty (30) days of the acceptance, adoption and approval of the
Settlement Agreement and this evaluation and monitoring is to continue for a
period of eighteen (18) months after its inception, with quarterly written
reports regarding his status being submitted by the evaluator. Dr. Horne
acknowledges that his active-medical-licensure in the State of Nevada is
contingent upon his completion of the eighteen (18)-month evaluation and
monitoring process and that his failure to comply with the aforementioned
evaluation and monitoring terms will result in his medical license being
summarily suspended for failure to comply with an order of the Board. Dr. Horne
will pay the aforementioned fine and the Board's costs and expenses incurred in
the matter, payable to the Board within sixty (60) days of the acceptance,
adoption and approval of the Settlement Agreement. |
