J C Ward1, B J Naster.   

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of carefully monitoring and documenting patient behavior in mental health inpatient programs. A structured behavioral observation system is presented along with data evaluating its reliability. This Unit Coverage system is shown to have acceptable reliability, as reflected in an obtained interobserver agreement of 86.2%, corrected for chance.
