What this trial studies

This study aims to create a standardized protocol for medical screening in patients who present with acute psychiatric symptoms using the Delphi method. By engaging a panel of experts from psychiatry and emergency medicine, the study seeks to identify essential medical evaluations that should be routinely performed. The goal is to reduce variability in current practices and ensure that patients receive consistent and effective care. The modified Delphi approach involves multiple rounds of surveys to refine expert opinions and reach a consensus on best practices.
