§ 7258. Review of adverse community events
The Department of Mental Health shall establish a system that ensures the comprehensive
review of a death or serious bodily injury occurring outside an acute inpatient hospital
when the individual causing or victimized by the death or serious bodily injury is
in the custody of the Commissioner or had been in the custody of the Commissioner
within six months of the event. The Department shall review each event for the purpose
of determining whether the death or serious bodily injury was the result of inappropriate
or inadequate services within the mental health system and, if so, how the failure
shall be remedied. (Added 2011, No. 79 (Adj. Sess.), § 1a, eff. April 4, 2012.)
