Client impact and best interest
 

I feel that these changes will require a clinician to choose between working in the best interest of the client and the time alloted. The client should always come first. There are emergencies and distance to community providers that are factors. Clinicians will not be able to explain to a client who may be in crisis or have travel difficulties that their situation is limited on time and therefore will not be addressed.
