Patients are assured the right to not take meds in this state. There is a huge advocacy group for this.
I generally agree. However, this is causing a huge problems within our newly built, thoughtfully staffed state hospital. The staff have all been seriously injured, are out on WC/ LTD/SSDI now and we keep it staffed by importing traveling nurses, etc. This provides zero consistency in the care, treatment and discharge planning for patients interested in stabilizing and returning to the community.
What to do?
