Abstract:
Efficient response to health care needs when clinical resources are limited is a critical issue in health care delivery. Technologies such as telemedicine hold promise to support adaptive service delivery models to address these issues. The authors explore how a simple, low-tech approach to telemedicine paired with an on-demand staffing model to create a virtual pool of consultants may improve capacity and flexibility for providing inpatient consultation-liaison psychiatric services.
