In it they detailed 14 patient safety concerns demanding attention including a 34% increase in the number of American Hospitals providing ECT, Medicare reimbursement without proper documentation, and a recently published audit revealing massive deficits in UK's regulatory mesurares required to ensure ECT patient safety.
