Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Healthcare Management
  • Primary Care

Background:

  • Interprofessional relations between general practitioners (GPs) and hospital consultants can be challenging, potentially impacting patient care and healthcare organization.
  • Previous studies have offered conflicting views on the nature of these relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey GP opinions on their relationships with gastroenterology-endoscopy services.
  • To identify current attitudes, negative aspects, and areas for improvement in GP-gastroenterologist collaboration.

Main Methods:

  • A structured questionnaire was distributed to 221 general practitioners in the Veneto region, Italy.
  • The survey included 26 questions assessing subjective relations, perceived expertise, and service efficiency.

Main Results:

  • 106 GPs responded, providing 2,339 responses.
  • 53% of responses were positive, especially regarding admissions management and referral report adequacy.
  • GP participation in gastroenterology-related meetings was noted, with limited homecare referrals even for tube-fed patients.

Conclusions:

  • GP relations with gastroenterological services in Veneto are generally positive, likely due to a developed outreach network.
  • Enhanced collaboration can be achieved through closer interrelations, focusing on professional and information exchange beyond patient referrals.
