While increasing emphasis is being placed on geriatric psychiatry consultation and outreach services, there is considerable variation in terms of the composition and direction of these programs. Programs vary in terms of their objectives, location, target population, use of health professions and other resources and their method of consultation. The purposes of this paper are to review the characteristics of existing programs, to review the needs of the targets of consultation and to consider theoretical and methodological approaches which have been found to be useful in mental health/psychiatric consultation, in continuing medical education, and in program evaluation. On the basis of this review, future directions for effective approaches to consultative outreach in geriatric psychiatry will then be proposed.
虽然对老年精神病学咨询和外展服务的重视程度日益提高，但这些项目的组成和方向存在很大差异。这些项目在目标、地点、目标人群、卫生专业人员和其他资源的使用以及咨询方法等方面各不相同。本文的目的是回顾现有项目的特点，审视咨询对象的需求，并考虑在心理健康/精神病学咨询、继续医学教育和项目评估中已被证明有用的理论和方法。在此综述的基础上，将提出老年精神病学咨询外展有效方法的未来方向。
