 Summary Analysis
  • The target is to have no one waiting in jail for an inpatient competency evaluation longer than 7 days.
  • Western State Hospital (WSH) has experienced a positive trend over the past 1½ years, although there has been a steady incline over the most recent two quarters. In FQ 2011/1, WSH had an average of 2.90 persons waiting more than 7 days, a significant increase as compared to the average noted in FQ 2010/4 (1.18), and the highest seen in 2 years.
  • The counts at Eastern State Hospital (ESH) are of continuing concern, although in FQ 2011/1 ESH had an average of 2.44 persons waiting more than 7 days, its lowest rate seen in the past 2 years.
