[What should a surgeon know about family medicine?]
1Institut für Allgemeinmedizin, Medizinische Fakultät, Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg, Magdeburg, Deutschland.
Background:
Surgeons have only limited options from case-specific contacts to generate a comprehensive picture about family medicine as a discipline and the family practitioner with its specific issues and characteristics. Thus, the typical function of the family practitioner is often not sufficiently taken into account while aiming for a better cooperation: the primary care of "unselected reasons for encounter" with integration of bio-psycho-social aspects, long-term care, close distance contacts and low-threshold access. In addition, family practitioners and surgeons have different expectations regarding their cooperation, which are important to know and handle.
Methods:
A selective literature search was undertaken on the self-conception and professional functioning of family medicine as well as on mutual expectations to improve cooperation at the outpatient-inpatient interface.
Results/Conclusion:
Surgeons benefit from the knowledge on self-conception and functioning of family practitioners by using options and potentials for the reduction of problems at the outpatient-inpatient interface and for an optimised network.
