Abstract

The amount of time consultation psychiatrists in a large metropolitan teaching hospital spent providing direct services was studied over 1,104 consecutive consultation cases. Although the majority of cases required less than 5 hours of psychiatric time apiece, more than 10% of these cases received more than 10 hours of direct services. This finding has important implications for understanding the types of psychiatric services provided to hospitalized medical/surgical patients.
