The Management Experiences, Priorities, and Challenges of Medical Directors in the Subspecialty of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry: Results of a Needs Assessment.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:Medical directors need management skills; yet, few studies describe the specific tasks that directors consider most important, their confidence for these tasks, and how their confidence develops. We studied these questions among directors in the subspecialty of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry. METHODS:A needs survey was sent to 48 registrants of a new forum for Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry directors. The survey asked about 6 professional experiences, the relative importance of 14 management tasks, and the directors' confidence in managing these tasks, using 7-point Likert scales. Correlations between experiences, task importance, and task confidence were performed. RESULTS:Twenty-seven directors responded (56% response). The experiences that correlated most with management confidence were years in practice and health care leadership training; yet, approximately half of responders were directors for ≤5 years and had received minimal training. Management tasks with the highest importance included demonstrating value of their service and roles for nonphysician clinical staff on their teams. Significant associations were identified between years in practice and confidence for leading faculty scholarship, trainee staffing ratios and roles, fee coding, measurement of faculty clinical productivity, and faculty recruitment. Leadership training correlated with confidence in demonstrating service value, measuring faculty clinical productivity, novel models of care, and growing a new service. CONCLUSION:Consultation-Liaison directors with fewer years of experience and minimal health care management training need time and support to grow into their roles. They should be pointed toward training opportunities to improve their confidence to lead the wide range of management tasks that are important to their roles.
