Hospitalists Caring for Behavioral Health Inpatients: A Hybrid Consultation Model.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThere is no established best practice for optimal medical consultant care to address the medical needs of psychiatric inpatients at a behavioral health center (BHC).
aimTo evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a hybrid on-site and virtual model of internal medicine consultative care in a BHC. SETTING AND
participantsTo provide continuous medical consultation availability for 233 patients in a BHC, 9 internal medicine hospitalists from the affiliated academic medical center joined 1 full-time internist and 21 medical nurse practitioners, supporting 34 psychiatry providers. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Hospitalists performed medical evaluation prior to electroconvulsive and ketamine therapies, hybrid on-site and remote consultation for acute concerns, test results, medication effects, and chronic diseases, electrocardiogram review, and pre-admission assessments. PROGRAM EVALUATION: BHC faculty were anonymously surveyed. 8/8 hospitalists and 11/34 psychiatrists responded. Qualitative data were coded and thematically analyzed. Psychiatrists appreciated hospitalists' expertise, communication, and collaborative problem-solving. Hospitalists found meaning in developing new clinical expertise and caring for vulnerable patients. Hospitalists credited the hybrid role with enhancing work-life integration. Challenges included handoffs, delineation of responsibilities, and virtual work impacting team cohesion. DISCUSSION: A hybrid consultation model allows hospitalists and psychiatrists to collaboratively care for BHC inpatients with professionally and personally rewarding work.
