Hospitals and psychiatric institutions of additional restrictions in everyday life at the facility. The Laender were given six months to enact implementation laws. Implementation status in the Laender Ex-officio investigative proceedings by the AOB showed that the provisions set forth in Section 38d of the Hospital and Convalescent Homes Act have not yet been anchored in all hospital legislation. At the time of editing this report there are thus no relevant Land-specific regulations in Burgenland and Carinthia. In the other Laender, data on measures that restrict freedom and involuntary placements has been recorded for a long time; in some cases electronically in the medical history. This does not ensure up-to-date recording of the data. Lower Austria In Lower Austria, measures that restrict freedom are recorded in the individual medical history using standardised forms, which are used as the basis for sending reports to the patient advocacy pursuant to Section 33 (3) of the Hospitalisation Act. The data is transferred to an electronic register and statistical analysis made in some departments, however, not on the basis of current data. As part of the phased implementation of the electronic hospital information system in all regional and university hospitals that is planned in the next few years, all reports in connection with the Hospitalisation Act should be forwarded electronically to the patient advocacy and the court, and the data transferred automatically to the register. 47 Upper Austria In the psychiatric hospitals and departments of the Upper Austrian health care holding company (Oberösterreichische Gesundheitsholding), setting up the registers was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2021. A register will be set up in the religious order hospitals St. Josef Braunau and Klinikum Wels-Grieskirchen at the beginning of 2021. Tyrol Registers are maintained throughout Tyrol with the exception of Kufstein District Hospital. Vorarlberg The medical history of patients has been documented electronically in Rankweil Regional Hospital in Vorarlberg for years, but only some of the data mentioned in Section 38d of the Hospital and Convalescent Homes Act and Section 63 of the Vorarlberg Hospital Act (Vorarlberger Spitalsgesetz) is recorded. However, programming that will enable analysis is in the pipeline. Carinthia In Clinic Klagenfurt, measures that restrict freedom are scanned as part of the medical record and sent daily to the patient advocacy which evaluates the data statistically. Internal department statistics are not created. Aggressive incidents are however recorded in detail in internal statistics. Burgenland In the Hospital of the Brothers of Saint John of God Eisenstadt an electronic medical history has been maintained for several years in which measures that restrict freedom as well as aggressive behaviour towards the patients
