midazolam drip for palliative care/end of life

Does your facility allow titration of midazolam outside of the critical care setting? ex. titration of midazolam for palliative care/end of life patients

Currently we allow a continuous infusion with no titration. Rate changes are to be ordered by the provider.

Thank you in advance for your feedback!
