Purpose: Accommodating walk-in psychiatry visits in primary care can improve access to psychiatric care for patients from historically underserved groups. We sought to determine whether a walk-in psychiatry model embedded within an integrated care practice could be sustained over time, and to characterize the patients who accessed care through it.
Methods: We reviewed electronic health records linked to 811 psychiatry encounters in an integrated care practice between October 1, 2015 and September 30, 2017.
