Patient wandering and patient elopement are serious safety concerns at hospitals in New York and around the country. A patient who wanders outside of the hospital grounds before the end of their treatment could be injured. Patients may also be at risk for injury if they leave a medical facility without informing their health care providers or they discharge themselves against medical advice.
