[PC-BH-Integration] Patient Visits

[McGlathery, Michael]

It sounds like you have a co-located mental health department. I have
social workers working for me who average about 8 encounters a day,
sometimes less but mostly more. The standard is 10 encounters a day in a
fully integrated primary care model. Michael Mcglathery,PhD

We are currently struggling with this issue as well.  If anyone has more
concrete information of what has worked for the practice in making it a
viable financial entity, that would be very helpful.

Hello,

I've been following the discussion thread regarding patient visits, and
had some more specific questions. We are trying to determine effective
utilization practices. If anyone could answer any of the following as
relates to their practice, or generally held views:
 
- Average number of encounters/visits per child psychiatrist per year
- Average number of encounters/visits per adult psychiatrist per year
- Average number of encounters/visits per psychologist per year
- Time used for initial evaluation/psychiatric consultation
- Time used for psychotherapy (i.e. 20-30??? 40-50mins)
- Time used for group sessions?


Thank you
