Item Pediatric consultation liaison : characteristics and considerations for training in evidence-based practices(2019-08-05) Bowling, Amanda Ann; Bearman, Sarah KateConsultation-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 local pediatric hospital, Dell Children’s Medical Center (DCMC). The purpose of this study is trifold: (1) to characterize the CL population at Dell Children’s Medical Center (DCMC); (2) to examine the relationship between time-to-initial consult (TTIC) and hospitalization length to test the hypothesis that delayed TTIC lengthens overall stay; and (3) to identify preliminary evidence-based practices that should be considered for CL provider training. Knowledge about evidence-based practice elements that overlap 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 even more critical with the shortened time frame available to work with this patient population
