N2 - The study objective is to outline basic aspects of medical care service structure in the fields of psychosomatic medicine in a clinical acute-care setting. A total of 216 inpatients in a psychosomatic ward of a general hospital were investigated during a 32 months period using a retrospective study design. Referring physicians and clinics along with referral procedures, the waiting period, teamwork with other clinics, as well as patient and therapy characteristics are described. According to provisions of outpatient psychosocial care, general practitioners refer the majority of the inpatients (55 %), followed by other clinics (25 %) and psychosomatic and psychiatric outpatient specialists (20 %). An outpatient department along with a psychosomatic C-L service are key elements for a psychosomatic department to ensure coordination of the referral procedure. The average waiting period lasts 21 days, the average length of stay is 48 days. 60 % of the inpatients show somatic and psychiatric co morbidity. A psychopharmacological treatment has to be taken into consideration along with multi-modal psychotherapy in a third of all patients.
