Encuesta nacional sobre la actividad de los internistas en asistencia compartida-interconsultas en los hospitales españoles

The interconsultation activity is generalised in the departments of internal medicine, but only 45% of these departments have interconsultation units, and only 33% provide the shared care modality. The survey reflects the shortcomings of training and some confusion in the concept of interconsultations. The considerable majority of departments lack organisational interconsultation protocols.
