Abstract
Concordance by treating physicians with the recommendations of consultation psychiatrists was examined in this retrospective study, using specific outcome criteria. Recommendations for use of psychotropics were accepted in 80% (72 of 90) of the consultations involving prescribing advice. Diagnosis and other nondrug advice presented by the psychiatrist were embodied in the treating physician's discharge summary 49% of the time (114 of 233 summaries). Similarities and differences with related recent American studies are discussed.
