Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes the form of an annual report on the facilities, operations, and conditions observed at an asylum for the chronically insane. The excerpt is the third such report, and it details the asylum's activities over the course of one year. The report opens by listing the names and titles of important asylum staff members, before moving on to outline the improvements made to the asylum during the previous year, and the overall state of its patients and their conditions within the facility. The report includes detailed information on the number of patients admitted, discharged, recovered or deceased, as well as the causes of their deaths or the reasons for their discharge, where relevant. The average ages of patients upon admission and death are provided, as is the average duration of each patient's illness. It also incorporates data on asylum finances, accounting for receipts and expenses, as well as a detailed breakdown of the asylum's assets and liabilities. The Superintendent's report discusses the effectiveness of employing patients in various kinds of work, describes the asylum's efforts to renovate its older facilities and bring them up to contemporary standards of patient comfort and safety, and a summary of the kinds of work patients performed. Finally, the report presents a series of tables containing more detailed statistics on patient admissions, discharges, causes of insanity, causes of death, and more. Throughout the document, the author displays a deep interest in the well-being of the patients, and a commitment to meeting their needs while improving the facility's standards of care.
