摘要：

People suffering from mental health disorders have an increased risk of morbidity secondary to reduced physical health. Physical health assessment is therefore key to improving the quality of care given to psychiatric patients. Our longitudinal study was divided into three stages and evaluated the comprehensiveness of physical examination in patients admitted to the Forensic Unit at the National Mental Health Hospital in Malta. Documentation was audited before and after the implementation of change. The introduction of a standardised physical health checklist at a National Forensic Unit resulted in improved physical health assessment and documentation.
