| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Substance abusers and psychiatric patients have a high degree of comorbid somatic disorders, are less frequently treated for their somatic disorders and have a high mortality rate. The objective of this study was to examine the availability of medical doctors in outpatient clinics for general psychiatry and for substance abuse, the presence of routines for medical assessment of all patients and of routine collection of blood samples. MATERIAL AND METHOD: In the period December 2012-May 2013, emails containing five questions were sent to the outpatient clinics in question. An overview of the outpatient clinics was obtained from the websites of the hospital trusts and supplemented with information from the Free Hospital Choice scheme. Altogether 78 general psychiatry outpatient clinics, 39 outpatient clinics for substance abuse and 18 general psychiatry outpatient clinics with a substance abuse team were contacted. RESULTS: The response rate amounted to 90%. The density of medical doctors (defined as man-years by other professions per man-year by doctors) varied from 1.3 to 140 (average 9.4 and median 5.0). Five per cent of the outpatient clinics reported that all patients saw a doctor during the course of treatment, while 53% reported that all patients were assessed indirectly by a doctor upon admission and/or by an interdisciplinary team/treatment meeting. Altogether 19% of the outpatient clinics routinely collected blood samples at the initiation of treatment. INTERPRETATION: The results indicate that there are major differences in terms of the availability of doctors and routines for medical assessment and collection of blood samples in outpatient clinics for general psychiatry and for substance abuse. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
