The development of a "statement of policy regarding consultations".

The use of consultations in family medicine has often been misunderstood by both the persons seeking the consultations and the persons acting as consultants. A policy regarding the use of consultants has been written by the Department of Family Medicine and Practice at the Center for Health Sciences, University of Wisconsin.

The policy includes the family practice residents, faculty, and patients in the decision-making process prior to all consultations.
