Description
Rosaria Di Lorenzo, Carolina Bottone, Isabella Riguzzi, Paola Ferri, and Sergio Rovesti published a 2026 comparison of psychiatric consultations across three care settings in Modena, Italy. A psychiatric consultation sets a diagnosis, a prognosis, and a treatment plan. How requests differ between the emergency room, the general hospital, and the community mental health center was the question.
The team reviewed every consultation of 2024 at the three sites of one hospital district. They counted 3,174 consultations for 1,801 patients. The emergency room hosted just over half, the community center about a third, and the hospital the rest. Suicide risk topped emergency requests, while depression and anxiety led at the community center. Hospital consults mostly covered psychiatric symptoms tangled with medical illness.
