Without meaningful activities, most patients spent their days either sitting in overcrowded dayrooms, wandering, sleeping or staring at television, with few opportunities to develop or retain skills necessary for maintaining a sense of worth and good mental health.

The Commission found wide variations in the frequency with which these interventions were used by psychiatric facilities in New York State. A second report containing the results of the largest survey of former psychiatric patients reported in the literature found that patients who were restrained or secluded during their inpatient stays overwhelmingly report these interventions were used illegally and that they were often poorly treated, abused or injured when restrained or secluded. quoted from http://www.cqcapd.state.ny.us/publications/pubtext.htmN/sites/photoslave/public_ftp/*SITE_REBUILD/ISLIP/edited/_MG_7483overlay800.jpg File name : /sites/photoslave/public_ftp/*SITE_REBUILD/ISLIP/edited/_MG_7483overlay800.jpg File size : 171882 bytes File date : 2006:08:30 20:27:00 Camera make : Canon Camera model : Canon EOS 5D Date/Time : 2006:08:28 15:58:00 Resolution : 533 x 800 Flash used : No Focal length : 28.0mm (35mm equivalent: 153mm) CCD width : 6.58mm Exposure time: 0.040 s (1/25) Aperture : f/4.5 ISO equiv. : 200 Whitebalance : Manual Metering Mode: matrix Exposure : Manual Exposure Mode: Manual Exposure Mode: Auto bracketing s2.jpgs2.jpg1191800l2.jpgl2.jpg3335000_MG_7493overlay800.jpg2006:08:28 16:02:26_MG_7493overlay800‹There is significant noncompliance by State psychiatric centers with a requirement of the Mental Hygiene Law that acts of patient abuse or mistreatment, which may constitute crimes, be reported to appropriate law enforcement agencies, according to this Commission report. The Commission undertook a study of the problems associated with reporting possible crimes in psychiatric centers to law enforcement agencies at the request of the Governor's office, following a controversy over the lack of timely reporting of an act of sodomy between two male patients at a psychiatric center. quoted from http://www.cqcapd.state.ny.us/publications/pubtext.htmN/sites/photoslave/public_ftp/*SITE_REBUILD/ISLIP/edited/_MG_7493overlay800.jpg File name : /sites/photoslave/public_ftp/*SITE_REBUILD/ISLIP/edited/_MG_7493overlay800.jpg File size : 270056 bytes File date : 2006:08:30 20:26:00 Camera make : Canon Camera model : Canon EOS 5D Date/Time : 2006:08:28 16:02:26 Resolution : 800 x 517 Flash used : No Focal length : 30.0mm (35mm equivalent: 164mm) CCD width : 6.58mm Exposure time: 0.013 s (1/80) Aperture : f/4.5 ISO equiv. : 200 Whitebalance : Manual Metering Mode: matrix Exposure : Manual Exposure Mode: Manual Exposure Mode: Auto bracketing s3.jpgs3.jpg1801160l3.jpgl3.jpg5003230_MG_7507overlay800.jpg2006:08:28 16:26:09_MG_7507overlay800The Commission and its Mental Hygiene Medical Review Board investigation into this case found that, while there may have been a necessity to place this patient in a camisole for prolonged periods during his stay on the intensive care unit, there was no documentation by a physician justifying its use. More disturbing was the evident failure of the psychiatric resident to examine the patient prior to authorizing the use of a camisole. This physician had attended to the patient earlier in the day when he was found to be perspiring, hyperventilating and agitated. He knew, or should have known, of the temperature control problems being experienced by the unit. In this case the medical rationale for medication doses exceeding Department of Mental Hygiene Drug Manual guidelines also was not subject to appropriate consultation, consent and documentation; medication orders were not clearly written and conditions for administration were not coordinated with nursing staff. quoted from
