A study of 141 consecutive referrals from family physicians in four clinic sites was undertaken to obtain descriptive characteristics of the referral-consultation process and to identify factors associated with effective outcomes. Consultation reports were returned to referring physicians in 88 percent, 75 percent, and 43 percent of referrals from consultants in community practice, university faculty practice, and university outpatient clinics, respectively. The quality of the consultation reports, as determined by the referring physician's opinion, increased directly with the amount of referral information originally sent to the consultant. The referral-consultation process appears to be functioning well in this site. The data suggest that this process might function even better if referring physicians would personally contact and send letters to consultants.
对来自四个诊所地点的家庭医生连续转诊的141例病例进行了研究，以获取转诊-会诊过程的描述性特征，并确定与有效结果相关的因素。社区诊所、大学教师诊所和大学门诊诊所的会诊医生分别将会诊报告返还给转诊医生的比例为88%、75%和43%。根据转诊医生的意见判断，会诊报告的质量与最初发送给会诊医生的转诊信息量直接相关。该地点的转诊-会诊过程似乎运作良好。数据表明，如果转诊医生亲自联系会诊医生并写信，这个过程可能会运作得更好。
