Indiana lawmakers push bill to create psychiatric hospital ombudsman after exposés revealed care failures.
Indiana lawmakers are advancing Senate Bill 131, which would create a Psychiatric Care Ombudsman Office to improve oversight of psychiatric hospitals following investigative reports revealing serious concerns about patient care, safety, and accountability.
The ombudsman, appointed by the Family and Social Services secretary, would investigate complaints and advocate for patients, especially those facing stigma.
The bill, inspired by findings from WFYI and Mirror Indy’s reporting, aims to address systemic gaps in oversight, improve transparency, and track patterns of concern.
It must pass out of committee during the current legislative session to move forward.
