Access TeleCare’s Med-Surg and ICU consultations can address psychiatric concerns that affect a patient’s medical treatment, safety, recovery, or disposition. These may include depression, anxiety, agitation, psychosis, self-harm concerns, substance-related symptoms, preexisting psychiatric conditions, questions about decision-making capacity, and psychiatric medication concerns. Access TeleCare clinicians can also help clarify behavioral symptoms when medical and psychiatric factors overlap. The consultation is tailored to the patient’s clinical situation, with recommendations communicated directly to the physicians, nurses, case managers, and other onsite clinicians responsible for the patient’s care.
