Throughout the 1960s, institutional reform continued on a wide scale. Willmar became the first "open" hospital, both physically (through open doors) and psychologically (through minimal use of restraints).
Professional administrators were hired to manage the business end of the hospital, leaving the practice of medicine to psychiatrists and other medical experts.
