The timing of psychiatric consultation in the general hospital and length of hospital stay

J S Lyons et al. Gen Hosp Psychiatry. 1986 May.

Abstract

Four hundred nineteen consecutive consult cases were studied to determine the relationship of the timing of the consult to hospital length of stay. Results indicated that earlier consultations predicted shorter lengths of stay. Applications of the present methodology to more complex evaluations of psychiatric consultation are discussed.
