A community mental health center operates a psychiatric consultation program as an integral part of the medical emergency service of a 550-bed general hospital. A major advantage of the system is that it allows the hospital to provide immediate comprehensive services--psychiatric as well as medical--to emergency patients. The consultation program also accepts referrals of hospitalized medical patients with apparent emotional problems and referrals of patients from such sources outside the hospital as pediatricians, clergymen, and other community agencies.
一个社区心理健康中心开展了一项精神病咨询项目，作为一家拥有550张床位的综合医院医疗急救服务的一个组成部分。该系统的一个主要优点是，它使医院能够为急诊患者提供即时的全面服务——包括精神病学和医学方面的服务。咨询项目还接受住院的有明显情绪问题的内科患者的转诊，以及来自医院外部的儿科医生、神职人员和其他社区机构等来源的患者的转诊。
