Psychiatrischer Konsiliardienst in einem Haus der Maximalversorgung am speziellen Beispiel des Universitätsklinikums Aachen
In Germany there has recently been some work done in the field of consultant psychiatry, but only within those hospitals which offer limited services. The Aachen University Hospital is illustrative of the specific situation in which a hospital provides the entire range of services including 30 clinics and 19 medical-theory institutes under one roof. In a similar way the study undertaken in the Lübeck University Hospital (Arolt et al.,1995) this thesis examines amongst other things, the frequency and reasons for the use of each department, as well as the diagnoses and recommendations of the advising doctors. 7364 sessions over the space of five years have been drawn on (1996- 2000). A significant result of this study is the observation that the majority of patients visited clinics offering inner medicine, dermatology and surgery. The main reasons for these visits were to enquire after the possibility of psychiatric causes for these illnesses with the possibility of specific therapy and further monitoring. The majority of diagnoses belonged to three groups, namely: abnormal psychology brought about through the use of psychotropic substances, organic disorders and affective disorders. The vast majority of recommendations, beyond continuing therapy, was the use of psychopharmacology.
