Patients with underlying psychiatric conditions may be particularly vulnerable to adverse events. This retrospective study analyzed 790 medical or surgical hospitalizations among adults with serious mental illness in Maryland hospitals over a 10-year period. Numerous patient, provider, and systems factors were correlated with adverse events. The authors suggest that improving safety in patients with mental illness will require multifaceted interventions.
