Abstract:
Consultation-liaison services are an integral part of many pediatric hospital settings, yet characteristics of this patient population have not been extensively documented. The current study is a retrospective one-year chart review of the consultation-liaison service at a large pediatric hospital in the Southwestern United States. The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to characterize this hospital's CL population and (2) to use these characteristics to identify preliminary evidence-based practices that should be considered for CL provider training. Identifying evidence-based practice elements that align with the characteristics of consultation-liaison patient populations may inform trainings for consultation-liaison staff. This would help to ensure that youth seen in hospital consultation-liaison services are getting the best available services, which is critical given the shortened time frame available to work with this patient population.
