Interior Health has now finished an internal report into his care, which found Rooney's treatment was generally good, but there were problems.
The report states Rooney was confused and depressed, and staff should have called social services.
It also says medical observations of Rooney were poorly documented, and communication with his family could have been better.
According to an excerpt from the report provided by Rooney’s mother Sharron, despite the fact Owen had told hospital officials he had been assaulted, no Glasgow Coma Scale (measures conscious state of person) was recorded and as well, no past medical or mental history was taken and a section on social history on an intake form wasn’t filled out – an Emergency Assessment record was not completed fully either.
Hampf said that the improvement cycle is also done in the context of IH, ensuring that lessons learned are also applied across the organization as well but she also said that the review board demonstrated that the staff acted appropriately after Owen went missing.
“Once Owen did leave the building, staff here did everything above and beyond to ensure that the police were notified,” said Hampf.
“In reality, Owen was not certified under the Mental Health Act and was free to leave the building at any time. I think that’s key, that we had no ability to hold Owen against his will and because he’d already been here and had been in and out of the building, going to the edge of the property to smoke, and actually sitting outside in the patio area, enjoying the August day, he certainly had demonstrated that he would go and come back.”
As for Sharron Rooney, she was undecided as to her feelings about the review.
“I am not sure how I feel about the review as with most steps in our search for Owen I have to digest what happens and which way to go next,” she said.
A HEALTH review has cast doubts over claims that Owen Rooney was hallucinating when he walked out of a Canadian Hospital 15 months ago.
Milton’s Rooney family has finally received a report from Canada’s Patient Quality Care Review Board after Owen went missing from Boundary Hospital in Grand Forks after allegedly consuming magic mushrooms.
Have I missed it, or the question whether Owen R. had some kind of insurance (medical, accidental, etc.) when he first came to Canada on a work visa, never been answered?Despite ongoing concerns from the family, the board concluded that “Owen’s disappearance was handled appropriately” by hospital staff.
Mrs Rooney said, due to poor documentation, there is no evidence as to whether Owen was capable or not capable of making any decisions.
“It is now obvious that he was not,” she said.
The review found that Owen declined offers to contact his family.
“There was no evidence to suggest that Owen was not mentally capable of making a phone call,” it said.
The Rooneys are continuing the search for Owen and were hoping someone working at the hospital at the time of his disappearance could provide answers.
Owen’s sisters Kelly and Bree have returned home to Milton after looking for their brother in Canada for more than a year.
The family remains in contact with detective and police in British Columbia.
