Referral letter from family physician to psychiatrist: Would it have educational, service or research implications?.
J Pak Med Assoc Jan ;58(1):47.

The process of communication among medical professionals has been debated. This problem persists despite living in an era of mass communication, e-technology, advanced telecommunication, talk-and-dictate facilities. The field of psychiatry where communication is the major requirement is replete with such practical evidence. A proper referral note from the family practitioner to the psychiatrist is a vehicle for appropriate information, education, follow-up and even research. Multiple unofficial examinations of such referral notes revealed inadequate information about a patient which may not be of any benefit for the person who is getting the referral. This is an opinion.
