 Summary Analysis
  • The target is to have no one waiting in jail for an inpatient competency evaluation longer than 7 days.  Western State Hospital met the target during FQ 2010/1, and nearly met target during FQs 2010/2 and 2010/3. Eastern State Hospital remains well above target.
  • Eastern State Hospital has an average of 11.18 waiting more than 7 days during FQ 2010/3, down 10% from 12.42 persons in FQ 2010/2 and 11% from 12.56 persons in FQ 2010/1, but still well above the 9.43 recorded in FQ 2009/4 and 3.56 noted in FQ 2009/3. The average number at ESH was well below the median of 5.64 for all of SFY 2008 and during FQs 2009/1 and 2009/3.  The number of persons waiting for inpatient competency evaluation has increased significantly over the past 5 of 6 fiscal quarters.
  • Western State Hospital has an average of less than one person (.74) waiting more than 7 days for the past seven reporting quarters, 26% below the median of 1.00, and down from a high of 2.77 in FQ 2009/1. In FQ 2010/3, WSH had an average of 0.25 waiting more than 7 days, slightly above the target of 0.00, which had been noted for FQ 2010/1; and above the 0.14 recorded for FQ 2010/2.
