Abstract：
:This editorial describes an effort by 9 consultation-liaison (C-L) psychiatry service leaders in the United States to incorporate routine performance measurement into their service workflows. Although C-L psychiatry is an essential clinical service in general hospitals, performance metrics for this service have not been broadly accepted or implemented. Meanwhile, the performance metrics that have been developed rely on an investment in resources and/or new workflows that C-L psychiatry services may not be prepared to make on a widespread level. Our group sought to determine the feasibility of incorporating routine performance measurement into the workflows of a diverse sample of C-L psychiatry services using only existing resources via three collection methods: timestamp review, chart auditing, and survey administration. No methods were broadly successful across the 9 services. We argue that for routine performance measurement to gain wider traction in the field of C-L psychiatry, the ready availability-or automatability-of performance data must be taken into account.
