Protecting the Autonomy of Patients with Severe Mental Illness Through Psychiatric Advance Directive Peer-Facilitation by Nicholas Karasik

“…Studies show that adults with SMI can complete legally valid PADs with appropriate assistance and that these documents faithfully represent their preferences.[37] At a minimum, service users report no bias against peer specialists in facilitating PADs.[38] Peer-support specialists use their lived experience to foster empowerment among patients, serve as role models, and promote a patient-centered process in successful PAD completion.[39] Mitigating concerns from providers that PAD creation would include complete refusal of treatment, other studies have found that peer-facilitated PADs were significantly more likely to be prescriptive than PADs facilitated by non-peer clinicians.[40] Most importantly, peer-facilitated PADs effectively decrease compulsory hospital admissions and increase mental health outcomes such as self-perceived symptoms, empowerment, and recovery.[41] Providers have a prima facie duty to prevent harm from occurring to others, remove conditions that will cause harm to others, and help persons with disabilities.[42] This is often conceptualized within the patient-provider relationship, but it need not be. …”

(4) Rationality in procurement is compromised by disregard for AMR, with decisions driven more by cost and demand than clinical evidence. (5) The clinical acumen of pharmacists is underutilized in procurement due to multifarious barriers. …”
