"(i) having multidisciplinary staff sufficient to monitor defendants and provide timely assessments,​ treatment, and referrals as needed, including at least one medical professional licensed to prescribe psychiatric​ medication;​" "(ii) prescribing, dispensing, and administering any medication deemed clinically appropriate by qualified​ medical professionals; and​" "(iii) having policies and procedures for the administration of involuntary medication;" 611.49 LIKELIHOOD TO ATTAIN COMPETENCY.​ "Subd. 2.
