    Psychiatric Consultation-Liaison Service
    The BIDMC Psychiatric Consultation-Liaison Service provides physician to physician psychiatric consultation in the Emergency Department and on the inpatient medical and surgical units throughout the hospital. We are available for consultation 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  The multidisciplinary team includes attending psychiatrists, psychiatric clinical nurse specialists, and psychiatry residents in the BIDMC Harvard, Harvard Longwood, and Harvard South Shore Psychiatry Residency Training Programs, and Harvard Medical School students.  We evaluate, and make diagnostic, treatment and aftercare recommendations for patients who present with symptoms of psychiatric illnesses, or who develop psychiatric symptoms during the course of their hospitalization at BIDMC.  We collaborate with the primary treatment teams in these settings to best serve these patients while they are in the hospital.   

    Request consults via pager 91122 for Medical/Surgical floor consults or pager 31220 for Emergency Department consults.

    Clinician Health Service
    The Clinician Health Service (CHS) is designed for any physician or psychologist within the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The CHS provides a safe place to discuss concerns, assist with problem-solving, and make recommendations for ongoing treatment, if indicated.  This process occurs in the context of a one to three session confidential psychiatric consultation. The service is supported by the Medical Center and there are no fees associated with it. 
     
    Confidentiality
    All referrals are confidential. Appointments are set up directly with the clinician. There is no on-line record of the meetings nor is insurance billed. Information is shared with others only with the permission of the physician or psychologist except in extreme circumstances such as when there is significant threat of harm to self or others.
     
    Referrals
    This is a self-referred treatment. Any physician or psychologist may contact Dr. Peck at 667-0651 or by e-mail at ppeck@bidmc.harvard.edu. She will make arrangements for you to meet with one of the CHS staff at a convenient time, usually within 24 hours.
     
    No Fee
    All physicians, psychologists, residents and fellows are seen for one to three sessions at no charge, with referrals to outside professionals as needed. The service is supported by the Medical Center.
