The Joint Commission list specific events that are considered reviewable. One of those events is the abduction of a patient On Thursday, September 24th, at approximately 12:30 p. m., a mother arrived to pick up her daughter from the hospital’s outpatient surgery department.

The child’s mother and father are divorced, and the mother has sole custody of the child.
Tina’s mother returned to pick her approximately 2 ½ hours later and found that Tina was discharged 30 minutes earlier. Tina’s mother was extremely distraught, security was called, and a “Code Pink” (hospital-wide child abduction alert) was activated. Local law enforcement was also contacted by hospital security. When the security officer interviewed the mother, she shared with him that she and Tina’s father were divorced and that she had full custody of Tina and her siblings. Tina was located within 30 minutes of her mother’s arrival, by local law enforcement, in the care of her father.
