Abstract

Patients who leave against medical advice (LAMA) are both a concern and a challenge for individuals in the health care field. Skillful communication, flexible routines, policies and procedures, negotiable management options, good clinical care and thorough documentation constitute the corner stones of dealing with this problem. The need for a clearly documented system or guidelines for assessing and managing such patients is highlighted.
