1. Increases in patient acuity and diagnosis related groups limiting hospital lengths of stay have contributed to the heightened demand for structured outpatient programs. 2. The Medication Clinic and Medication Group, a daily functioning outpatient program, is designed to shift the responsibility for medication management from the health-care provider to the patient and family through education and participation. 3. Within the framework of a collaborative practice model, the patient, clinical nurse specialist, and psychiatrist share equal power and responsibility. A phenomenologically oriented approach whereby the health-care provider attempts to understand the patient's illness from the patient's perspective is a crucial component. 4. The Medication Program combines the expertise of nursing and medicine in a complementary fashion, conducive to both revenue-generating activity and cost-effective role use.
