The procedures for these hospitals would be hard to change.
Hard in the sense that there’s a lot of lobbying power behind the legacy system but that’s not for lack of alternatives.
Prediction-based medicine where one doctor makes predictions about what’s likely to happen when the patient doesn’t get hospitalized and what happens with them when they are hospitalized and then letting another doctor make the decision to hospitalize or not hospitalize isn’t very hard.
Then you fire those people who make bad predictions because they are unqualified to do their job.
I think it’s perfectly fine to require the opinion of two doctors to take away the freedom as taking freedom away is a major move and I think it’s reasonable to require the ability to make accurate predictions about harm to justify taking away someones freedom.
