As far as we know, there is no experience of quality management in mental health care in Portugal. This study fills a gap in the area of consultation-liaison psychiatry. Due to its multidisciplinarity and to the complexity of the problems it deals with, consultation-liaison psychiatry seems a privileged field for the development of this kind of programme. The authors describe the different steps necessary for the implementation of a quality management study in one of the national centres and report some preliminary results that show the success it has attained.
据我们所知，葡萄牙在精神卫生保健方面尚无质量管理经验。本研究填补了会诊联络精神病学领域的一项空白。由于其多学科性质以及所处理问题的复杂性，会诊联络精神病学似乎是开展此类项目的一个得天独厚的领域。作者描述了在一个国家中心实施质量管理研究所需的不同步骤，并报告了一些初步结果，这些结果显示该研究取得了成功。
