ABSTRACT
Admitting male and female patients to the same room compromises the safety of female patients and violates the rights of all patients. We demonstrate that mixed bedding is common (47.22% of admissions), increasing and disproportionately affects vulnerable older patients in a large New Zealand hospital from 2011 to 2019 (n = 160 048). Eliminating mixed bedding should be a priority for our hospital system.
