Psychiatric consultation: Characteristics, satisfaction, and perceived opportunities among referrers to a 1-time service

CONCLUSION: We found referrers to the Centralized Psychiatric Consultation Service for Adults to be clustered based on specific practice characteristics, as well as provider-patient factors. Overall, satisfaction with the service was fair and PCPs were not highly interested in a variety of proposed interventions. Future studies should explore how useful 1-time consultation services are for solo-practising PCPs and how best to support these and other PCPs in their management of patients with mental health needs.PMID:37451985 | PMC:PMC10348790 | DOI:10.46747/cfp.6907481
