Background: Patient evaluations have become a sensitive indicator of service delivery and the quality of care. In this study they point to a lack of clarity surrounding the role of outpatient psychiatry in relation to primary care, raising questions about the effective integration of services for patients whose needs straddle the boundaries of primary and specialist care.
Methods: Interviews with a consecutive series of 100 new referrals to two outpatient clinics compared their expectations of treatment with their subsequent experiences of psychiatric care.
