When expert help is required, a well-motivated interconsultation requested at the appropriate time is essential for providing good medical care to patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005">1</a> This activity represents a significant workload in hospitals. An approximate calculation estimated that the Spanish departments of internal medicine received more than 111,000 interconsultation requests from the surgical area alone in 2006.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010">2</a> Despite its importance, we have very little information on this system of collaboration among departments, especially on those aspects that interfere or impede its proper conduct and that often make interconsultations ineffective<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015">3</a> and economically costly.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020">4</a>Interconsultations have numerous problems including the implementation mechanism,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010">2</a> the delimitation/transfer of responsibility<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010">2</a> and defects in communication.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025">5</a> Various aspects, most of which have been insufficiently studied, have also been reported that distort its development.

The observational and prospective study included all interconsultations received from September 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012 by the internal medicine department during work hours from Monday to Friday. Our department has a specific section in charge of providing medical support to various surgical departments and responding to interconsultations, each adjudicated on a rotating basis by each member of the department. Interconsultations are requested and answered by means of a computer application that stores patient demographic data, department and requesting physician data, data on the department and the physician who responds, the reason for the interconsultation (open text), date and time of the request for interconsultation, date and time of the response(s), date and time of the closure of the interconsultation and whether the request is of a normal or preferential nature. We defined an interconsultation as urgent if an immediate response was requested, preferentially if the response is expected in less than 24h; otherwise, the interconsultation was defined as normal. Urgent interconsultations are requested directly using pagers.The medical area of our hospital is composed of the following specialties: allergy, cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, hematology, internal medicine, nephrology, pulmonology, neurology, medical oncology, psychiatry and rheumatology. The Psychiatry department has only participated in the study for 2 months, because we started a new system of collaboration with this department on November 1, 2011 that involves the disappearance of internal medicine interconsultations. The surgical area is composed of the following departments: general and gastrointestinal surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthopedic and trauma surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology and urology. Dermatology patients are admitted to the internal medicine department. The departments of orthopedic and trauma surgery, otorhinolaryngology and ophthalmology have not participated in the research because the internal medicine department sees all patients from these departments on a daily basis through shared care (comanagement) and, therefore, these departments do not request internal medicine interconsultations.The variables collected were age, gender, emergency or scheduled hospitalization, number of diagnoses at discharge, Charlson's comorbidity index adjusted for age,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065">13</a> administrative weight (corresponds to the relative weight of a specific diagnostic related group and represents a measure of the expected cost of this diagnostic related group compared with the mean), length of stay and hospital mortality, hospital area that requested the interconsultation, category of interconsultation (emergency/preferential/normal), length of interconsultation in days and the day of the week it was requested. We recorded whether there was an interconsultation requested for the same cause to another department and whether the reason for the interconsultation was for a disease that the requesting department treats. We analyzed whether the internal medicine department was the appropriate department for the interconsultation. We do not consider an interconsultation to internal medicine appropriate if the patient is already being assessed by another department for the same reason, because is not acceptable that 2 different specialists see a patient for the same reason. Only if the first department has completed the interconsultation and the requesting department does not agree with it (after discussing it with the consultant) can a second interconsultation for the same reason be requested of other department, in this case, internal medicine. An interconsultation with internal medicine is also not appropriate if the reason for the interconsultation falls within the purview of the internal medicine department; for example, it is not appropriate to request an interconsultation with internal medicine to assess pain and functional impotence in a lower limb after a fall. It is also inappropriate to request an interconsultation with internal medicine to resolve bureaucratic paperwork that is not derived from the interconsultation itself. We also recorded the delay between the admission and the interconsultation request and, in patients who underwent surgery, whether the interconsultation was requested before or after the surgery.We classified an interconsultation as premature if it was requested despite the patient being stable and also if the information basic (history, examination, basic tests) had not yet been obtained or the standard empiric treatments had not been tried.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070">14</a> We considered the interconsultation as delayed if it should have been requested earlier due to the poor situation or deterioration of the patient, or for potentially severe findings in the history, examination or additional tests.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070">14</a>Statistical analysisThe quantitative variables are listed with the mean and standard deviation (DE). The categorical variables are listed with the absolute number and percentage. The analysis of the differences of the means was performed with Student's t-test. The categorical variables were analyzed with the calculation of the odds ratio (OR). The analysis of correlation between the requester and consultant was performed using the calculation of the weighted kappa index obtained with the quadratic weight method. Due to the type of study and clinical nature of the results, we considered a precision of ±0.05 to be sufficient. We therefore rounded to one decimal place. Statistical significance was established at p<.05. All calculations were performed using the SPSS 15.0 statistical suite (Chicago, USA).ResultsDuring the study period (8 months), our department received 215 interconsultation requests during work hours (27 interconsultations/month). Medical services requested 66 (30.7%) and surgical 149 (69.3%) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0005">Table 1</a>). The allergy, hematology, nephrology and rheumatology departments requested no interconsultations with the internal medicine department. Interconsultations were answered by a total of 5 consultants; 80% by the same consultant. The overall characteristics of the patients for whom interconsultations were required are summarized in <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0010">Table 2</a>. Age and the Charlson's comorbidity index were higher in the patients undergoing surgery. These patients also had a larger proportion of scheduled hospitalizations and a higher consumption of resources, as evidenced by their greater administrative weight. This result is consistent with the characteristics of their healthcare activity and increased comorbidity. <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0010">Table 2</a> shows the analyzed characteristics of the interconsultations. There were no significant differences between the interconsultations from the medical and surgical departments. Both hospital areas requested interconsultations when the patients were halfway through their hospitalization. In the surgical area, 108 patients underwent surgery; for 10 (9.3%) of these patients, the interconsultation was requested before the surgery, and for 98 patients (90.7%), the request was made after the operation.<elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0005"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0010"></elsevierMultimedia>There were no differences in the requests by day of the week between the medical and surgical departments (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0010">Table 2</a>). A fourth of the weekly interconsultations were requested on Monday, which reflects the weekend admissions. However, another peak in requests occurred on Fridays, especially when compared with Thursday: for the overall group, the OR was 1.7 (95% CI 1.1–2.8; p=.03); for the medical are, the OR was 1.3 (95% CI 0.6–3.2; n.s.); and for the surgical area, the OR was 1.9 (1.1–3.4; p=.03).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0010">Table 2</a> shows the temporal categories and types of interconsultation. The surgical departments requested interconsultations with a greater delay (with respect to admission), compared with the medical departments, and with greater urgency (more preferentially). <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0015">Table 3</a> shows the requester/consultant correlation with respect to the type of interconsultation. We observed a moderate correlation in the surgical area and a low correlation with the medical specialists.<elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0015"></elsevierMultimedia>DiscussionOur results show that the interconsultations are requested for elderly patients with high comorbidity, which is consistent with previously reported results.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030">6</a> We also observed a high mean length of stay and mortality, similar to the results described by other authors,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0050">10,11</a> which are probably related to age and comorbidity.The finding that 13% of interconsultations had already been requested of other departments shows poor functioning of the interconsultations. This duplication is probably due to not reading the previous interconsultations, excessive delays in responding or a response not in keeping with the requester's expectations. The same could be said for the fact that for almost one-fourth of the interconsultations the internal medicine department was not the appropriate department, which shows a lack of attention or an incorrect assessment of the patient's situation when making the interconsultation request. This finding probably reflects, among other problems, the organization of various departments that impedes the ongoing follow-up of patients by the same physician. It is striking that 14.4% of the interconsultations were requested for a disease covered by the requesting department, which implies an incorrect assessment of the patient's clinical condition.The increase in requests on Fridays is not justified by an increased number of patients as happens on Mondays, but rather is probably due to the uncertainty that the weekend causes for physicians responsible for the patients. One of the reported causes for requesting an interconsultation is to reduce the physician's anxiety when faced with patients in delicate clinical conditions.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070">14</a>An important issue is the delay between admission and the request for interconsultation. This finding probably means that the interconsultation is requested when the problem occurs, without having taken preventive measures beforehand, which, in many cases, could be adopted. This finding is confirmed more forcefully in the surgical area where 90% of the interconsultations for patients undergoing surgery were requested after the operation, a finding described by other authors.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050">10</a> This delay, as well as the delay in the request for interconsultation regarding the patient's clinical condition, could be related to a series of difficult-to-solve problems, such as the organization of departments or the specialization of its members.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010">2</a>A third of the interconsultations were not requested at the appropriate time. While both areas have a similar proportion of premature interconsultations, the surgical area requested more interconsultations and with greater delays than the medical departments, reinforcing the idea that they have difficulties in recognizing the patient's condition. This reasoning could explain why surgeons request more preferential interconsultations. It is important to note that the delay in requesting an interconsultation is associated, at least in some cases, with increased morbidity and mortality.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0075">15</a>A source of conflicts and problems between the requester and the consultant is the disagreement between them on the emergency of the interconsultation.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040">8</a> In our study, the correlation was low, especially with the medical area. This can be explained by the different perception of the patient's clinical condition between the requester and the consultant<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080">16</a> and by the various reasons that give rise to an urgent consultation.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045">9</a>This study has a number of limitations. It was performed in an internal medicine department with a number of special characteristics that could impede the extrapolation of results to other institutions. Several medical and surgical departments did not participate in the study, although we believe that they do not differ in their behavior regarding interconsultations compared with those that did participate. The interconsultations were assessed by a single consultant. Given that a number of the variables analyzed are influenced by the observers, subjectivity issues could have arisen for not performing a correlation study among the various observers. It is important to note that we only analyzed the viewpoint of the consultant and not that of the requester. The assessment of a number of study variables could be different, given that clear differences have been reported in the appraisal of a number of aspects of interconsultations between requesters and consultants.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080">16</a> It would be desirable to have the viewpoints of the requesting physicians; however, the lack of standardization of the same and the organization of many medical and surgical departments makes this project problematic.In conclusion, we can say that interconsultations are, with excessive frequency, requested with delays and duplications, are not directed to the proper department and have incorrect assessments of the patient's condition and the urgency of the request, all of which impedes their operation. This behavior is similar in both the medical and surgical areas. It is important to the hospital's activity that these problems be corrected.

We analyzed the requests for in-hospital consultation with IM and the potential differences between the consultations of medical and surgical departments. Patients and methodsThis was an 8-month observational prospective study that analyzed demographic variables related to the origin of the interconsultation, comorbidity, length of stay and hospital mortality, emergency, admission-consultation request delay, appropriateness (not appropriate if another department was consulted for the same reason or if the pathology behind the consultation was that of the requesting service) and, for patients who underwent surgery, whether it was requested before or after the surgery. ResultsDuring the study, 215 in-hospital consultations were conducted (27 consultations/month). The mean age of the patients was 69.8 years (women, 50%). Some 30.7% were requested by medical departments and 69.3% by surgical departments. Thirteen percent of the in-hospital consultations were duplicated. The department of IM was not the appropriate department consulted in 23.3% of cases (13.0% of the cases requested consultations for the same reason with another department; in 14.3% of the cases, the pathology was that of requesting department). More in-hospital consultations were conducted on Mondays and Fridays than on Thursdays (25.1% and 23.7% versus 15.3%, respectively; p=.03). The delay between admission and the request for interconsultation was of 12.6 days. Some 90.7% of the in-hospital consultations for patients undergoing surgery were requested after the intervention. There were no differences in the characteristics of the in-hospital consultations between the medical and surgical departments. ConclusionsIn-hospital consultations directed at IM are frequently duplicate, are not well directed at the appropriate department and their urgency is incorrectly assessed. These characteristics are similar for the consultations with medical and surgical departments." ] "es" => array:2 [ "titulo" => "Resumen" "resumen" => "ObjetivoUna actividad importante y poco estudiada de los servicios de medicina interna (MI) son las interconsultas. Hemos analizado las solicitudes de interconsulta a MI y posibles diferencias entre las consultas de los servicios médicos y quirúrgicos. Pacientes y métodosEstudio observacional prospectivo de 8 meses de duración. Se analizaron variables demográficas, relacionadas con la procedencia de la interconsulta, comorbilidad, estancia y mortalidad hospitalaria, urgencia, demora ingreso-solicitud, adecuación (no adecuado si otro servicio había sido consultado por el mismo motivo o porque la enfermedad motivo de consulta era propia del servicio solicitante) y, en los pacientes intervenidos quirúrgicamente, si fue solicitada antes o después de la intervención. ResultadosEn el tiempo de estudio se recibieron 215 interconsultas (27 consultas/mes). La edad media fue de 69,8 años (mujeres 50%). El 30,7% fueron solicitadas por servicios médicos y el 69,3% por servicios quirúrgicos. Un 13% de las interconsultas estuvieron duplicadas. El servicio de MI no era el servicio consultado adecuado en el 23,3% (13,0% solicitadas por el mismo motivo a otro servicio y en el 14,3% la enfermedad era propia del servicio solicitante). Los lunes y viernes se formularon más interconsultas que los jueves (25,1 y 23,7% versus 15,3%; respectivamente, p=0,03). La demora entre el ingreso y la solicitud de interconsulta fue de 12,6 días. El 90,7% de las interconsultas solicitadas a pacientes intervenidos se emitieron después de la intervención. No hubo diferencias en las características de las interconsultas entre los servicios médicos y quirúrgicos. ConclusionesLas interconsultas dirigidas a MI con frecuencia son duplicadas, no están bien dirigidas al servicio adecuado y se aprecia una incorrecta valoración de su urgencia.

Frequently the interconsultations were transmitted in duplicate (13%), with a considerable delay with respect to the hospital admission (12.6 days), and the Department of Internal Medicine was not the appropriate department for consultation (23%).
