Abstract:
Neuropsychiatry has become the subject of a number of editorials and position papers in recent years. Historical, philosophical, clinical, scientific, and educational dimensions of neuropsychiatry have been discussed in these papers. The potential business aspects of this topic, however, have received little, if any, comment. In this paper, the authors describe the business performance characteristics of an integrated neuropsychiatry department, formed through the merger of two traditional departments of psychiatry and neurology. The merger of neurology and psychiatry to create an integrated neuropsychiatry department according to the model described produced significant improvement in financial performance.
