Intensive care medicine and the <i>Internal Medicine Journal</i>: perfect bedfellows?

Dr. Anthony Fisher (1924–2007)

Editorial introductions

Education section – The Cochrane Collaboration

The different levels of knowledge and understanding of attitudes to and use by physicians of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) Guidelines for ethical relationships between physicians and the pharmaceutical industry are unknown. The aim of this study was to explore how physician Fellows of the RACP relate to and use the ethical Guidelines of the RACP regarding relationships with the pharmaceutical industry. Focus group discussions and in-depth face-to-face interviews were used to gather information from physicians who responded to invitations placed in electronic newsletters or through word of mouth. Five focus groups and eight in-depth interviews were conducted with 56 practising physicians in Australia and New Zealand. Most physicians were aware of the RACP ethical Guidelines (3rd edition, 2006), but only a few used them to resolve ethical dilemmas or to influence their decision-making in relation to interacting with the pharmaceutical industry. Ethical standards used or approaches to decision-making practices related to interactions with the pharmaceutical industry were most likely to have been developed through past experiences, peer pressure or decisions that were considered to be 'in the best interests of their patients'. There were strong opinions expressed about relationships with the pharmaceutical industry and how these relationships often lead to feelings of humiliation. Some felt they were prostituting themselves for the sake of acquiring funding for staff positions, medical devices, research or attendance at conferences. Very few physicians recollected having any assistance on how to deal with the pharmaceutical industry during their training, and those few who did recollect such input through their curricula and education felt they did not benefit. RACP Guidelines on ethical guidance for relating to the pharmaceutical industry have not been used by most physicians, and very few had read or referred to the Guidelines. Reliance on 'previous' experience, opinions of peers and 'value to patients' had most influence on attitudes and behaviours in interactions with industry. Many physicians felt uncomfortable and embarrassed about interactions with industry, especially varying levels of dependence on industry for resources.

Accessing timely specialist physician advice and guidance is of critical importance to both Australian GP specialists (GPs) and their patients. The traditional method of referral, triage and subsequent face-to-face (FTF) consultation is facing challenges from an ever increasing volume of referrals and the needs of underserved populations. In response to such issues, electronic consults (eConsults) have been successfully used internationally to provide GPs with a means of asynchronously accessing specialist physician advice and guidance within 72h. Few studies have addressed the potential impact of eConsults from the view of the non-GP specialist receiving the request, and none specifically related to specialist adult medicine physicians. The aim of this study was to determine the perceptions of current Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) adult medicine Fellows towards establishing an eConsult model of care within their own clinical practice. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 RACP adult medicine Fellows between December 2019 and February 2020. Purposive and snowball sampling strategies were used to recruit physicians of differing ages and gender from diverse specialties and healthcare settings. The data were subjected to a descriptive thematic analysis. We describe five key themes of relevance to study participants: (1) improved access to non-GP specialist care; (2) the business model in relation to remuneration and time; (3) enhanced GP-Physician relationships; (4) impact on physician work-life balance; and (5) the need for a structured model of care. There was broad consensus that a significant number of outpatient referrals to adult medicine physicians would be more appropriately addressed in primary care with support via an asynchronous eConsult arrangement. RACP Fellows agreed this could improve access to timely specialist advice, place downward pressure on outpatient FTF clinic waiting times and reduce unnecessary patient travel. These findings identify the drivers and barriers to the establishment of an Australian eConsultant model of care from the adult medicine physician's perspective.
