This article describes the development of a new psychiatric service for the elderly based in a university general hospital. The service aims to provide and coordinate comprehensive psychiatric care for a defined population and also to serve as a tertiary care unit with academic responsibilities. As part of the Department of Psychiatry, this specialized service is fully integrated into all the major clinical and teaching components of the department. As the demand for more geriatric psychiatry services and training increases over the next decade, innovative ways of responding to this need will have to be developed. This integrative model in a general hospital setting has enhanced the quality of health care delivery to the elderly at the same time as improving training and recruitment.
本文介绍了一家大学综合医院为老年人提供的一项新的精神科服务的发展情况。该服务旨在为特定人群提供并协调全面的精神科护理，同时作为承担学术职责的三级护理单位。作为精神科的一部分，这项专门服务完全融入了该科室的所有主要临床和教学组成部分。随着未来十年对更多老年精神科服务和培训的需求增加，将必须开发应对这一需求的创新方法。在综合医院环境中的这种综合模式，在改善培训和招聘的同时，提高了为老年人提供的医疗服务质量。
