The establishment of a psychiatric consultation-liaison service in Nottingham more than trebled referrals from general hospital wards and the accident and emergency (A&E) department over a period of 4 years--without an equivalent rise in total admissions. Most patients were suffering from a mental disorder, 43% having an organic or functional psychosis; 86% were making their first psychiatric contact and 29% of recontacts had only been seen previously at a District General Hospital (DGH).
在4年时间里,诺丁汉市建立的精神科会诊联络服务使综合医院病房和急诊部的转诊量增加了两倍多,而总住院人数却没有相应增加。大多数患者患有精神障碍,43%患有器质性或功能性精神病;86%是首次与精神科接触,29%再次接触的患者之前仅在地区综合医院就诊过。
