Availability, timeliness, documentation and quality of consultations among hospital departments: a prospective, comparative study

ConclusionWe detected significant differences in key aspects of consultations provided by the departments. The medical model of consultations, in which each medical department adopts several other wards to which it provides consulting services upon request, should probably be adopted as a major policy decision by hospitals directors to enhance inter-departmental consultations.
