HRS §334-84
Court decides if patient stays or leaves
After a patient is admitted, the court checks if the admission was proper and if the patient still needs hospital care. If both are true, the court orders the patient to stay. If not, the court orders immediate discharge, and notice goes to people listed in another law.
