CORRECTION to Oct. 10 story about bed shortages

EDS: Clients who used the Cronkite News story slugged SMI Patient Care that moved Thursday, Oct. 10, are asked to run the following correction. The errors occurred in grafs 6, 7 and 25 of the original. A corrected version of the story has been posted here.

An Oct. 10 Cronkite News story about bed shortages and inadequate care for severely mentally ill patients included incorrect information about the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System. AHCCCS does not have responsibility for opening or licensing new facilities related to mental health treatment. Also, information about an involuntary hold for Jane Jepson’s son, Nick, was not correct. Nick was placed on a 72-hour involuntary hold at the Urgent Psychiatric Center at what was then Phoenix Memorial Hospital.
