SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A new report says Oregon State Hospital has been making significant improvements in management and patient care this year.
The Statesman Journal reports an Indiana-based consulting firm hired by the state said the Salem psychiatric facility has made a number of changes over the past seven months.
The final report by Kaufman Global indicated the 128-year-old hospital is making a dramatic turnaround from revolving-door leadership and other problems, including obsolete facilities, understaffing and high-profile cases of patient abuse.
The report caps a $2 million consulting project.
