Objective: To assess the communication between the attending physician (AP) and psychiatrist (PT) in the treatment of patients in common. Method: Monocentric quantitative study from 2018 of the PT and AP of 129 patients. Assessment of the communication between patients’ AP and PT using a confirmed dual active follow-up, based on patient file knowledge. Results: Blended active follow-up confirmed for 13.4% of patients. The APs knew 53% of the psychiatric antecedents (ATCDs) and treatments undergone by their patients. PTs were aware of 66% of somatic ATCDs and 55% of their patients’ treatments. “At-risk” situations were flagged only 43% of the time by APs and 25% of the time by PTs. Conclusion: Communication and collaboration between APs and PTs remains insufficient.
