A Call for Integrated Psychiatry-Psychology Collaboration on Consult-Liaison Services: Experiences of a Psychology Extern and Recommendations for Collaborative Care.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Few institutions have integrated psychologists into consult-liaison (CL) psychiatry services caring for patients with medical conditions and comorbid serious mental illnesses (SMI). To our knowledge, no studies have explored the experiences of an integrated pre-doctoral psychologist on a CL psychiatry service and applications of collaborative care. The present study aims to 1) highlight the experiences of a psychology extern on an adult CL psychiatry service in a public academic hospital, and 2) apply a collaborative care framework to provide recommendations for implementing integrated psychiatry-psychology collaboration. A semi-structured qualitative interview was performed with the team's psychology extern to elicit practice goals and setting. As of June 2022, the psychology extern saw 76 inpatient adults over the year-long externship period. Through diverse case vignettes, we illustrate the extern's unique roles in providing psychotherapeutic interventions to enhance patients' coping skills. We further found that embedding a psychology extern within the CL psychiatry service follows the integrated model of collaborative care. We thus apply a collaborative care framework to guide CL services in using multidisciplinary teams to improve care quality for inpatient adults. Leveraging the expertise of a psychology extern in real-time collaboration with CL psychiatry teams can enhance patient-centered care and warrants broader institutional implementation. Future studies are needed to explore the efficacy of integrated psychiatry-psychology collaboration on provider perspectives and clinical outcomes.
