Psychiatric consultation in an HMO: a model for education in primary care

LF Rittelmeyer Jr and WE Flynn

The authors describe a program based on a biopsychosocial model of illness, which uses a liaison-consultation approach in an outpatient setting. It is directed toward integrating psychiatric education and services with primary care in a health maintenance organization. This program can serve as a useful model for studying the validity and effectiveness of integrating psychiatric concepts with primary health care.
