physicians are often consulted outside the appointments system&#46; Medical professionals&#44; but particularly dermatologists&#44; can easily recall a situation in which medical advice was informally requested in a street&#44; elevator&#44; corridor&#44; and even in the surgery&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Dermatologists are possibly more likely than other specialists to be asked for informal medical advice&#44; given that the skin is immediately accessible and easily explored&#46; It is this very accessibility&#44; in fact&#44; that leads people to expect the dermatologist to be able to resolve their query immediately&#46;</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">With a view to better understanding informal consultations in a hospital setting&#44; we documented 270 consultations between October 2008 and July 2009 in order to profile the individuals who request medical advice&#44; their reasons for consulting&#44; the severity of their complaints&#44;

Spain&#46; Given the lack of similar studies&#44; the dermatologists applied criteria based on their professional experience&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Inclusion criteria for consulting individuals were as follows&#58; they did not have a formal appointment on the day of the consultation&#59; they had not used the emergency service on the day of the consultation &#40;for whatever reason&#41;&#59; they made the consultation within the hospital&#59; and the consultation was about a skin complaint&#46;</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Data were collected between October 2008 and July 2009 and analyzed using SSPS statistical software&#44;

security staff&#44; and others&#46; Information was also collected on whether this was the individual&#39;s first consultation regarding the skin complaint&#44; whether the person had previously consulted for another reason&#44;

surgery-related complaints &#40;secondary to surgery or lesions&#41;&#44; and undiagnosed complaints&#46; These reasons were further subclassified according to the definitive diagnosis&#44; with the exception of skin complaints that remained undiagnosed due to the need for further tests&#46;</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Diagnostic and therapeutic responses were classified as follows&#58;

and other responses&#46;</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The dermatologists scored severity on a scale of 1 to 9&#44; with 1 representing a mild complaint&#44; and 9 representing a complaint needing urgent medical attention&#46;

own assessment of the care provided to these individuals in comparison with their care of formal patients was classified as follows&#58; less care&#59; standard care&#59; or better care&#44; ie&#44; the dermatologist had performed nursing or administrative procedures&#44;

offices&#44; surgeries&#44; etc&#41;&#46; Such consultations&#44; facilitated by the accessibility of the skin&#44; are not regulated&#44; recorded&#44; or scheduled&#46; They usually imply an investment in terms of time&#44; and occasionally require the use of health care resources&#46; Since our study was conducted in a hospital&#44; consultations with dermatologists outside work were not included&#46;</p><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The work setting defines certain characteristics of the consulting individual&#46; In our hospital-based study&#44; for example&#44; the typical requester was a female&#44; middle-aged nurse&#44; reflecting the fact that our hospital has more female than male nurses and that its employees are largely middle-aged&#46;</p><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The skin complaints for which medical advice was requested were&#44; in the opinion of the dermatologists&#44; mainly mild&#46; The most frequent complaints were benign tumors&#44; specifically&#44; melanocytic nevi &#40;10&#46;7&#37;&#41;&#44; seborrheic keratosis&#44; and viral warts &#40;6&#46;7&#37; each&#41;&#46; Our findings partially corroborate the study by Tejera-Vaquerizo et al<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> regarding the reasons for additional consultations by dermatology patients &#40;ie&#44; about conditions not covered by the primary care referral&#41;&#58; melanocytic nevi &#40;18&#37;&#41; was the most frequently mentioned complaint &#40;intradermal nevi&#44; 11&#46;5&#37;&#44; and common melanocytic nevi&#44;

Half the patients in the study by Tejera-Vaquerizo et al were aged 10 to 40 years&#44; and acne was a frequent motive for consultation &#40;6&#46;8&#37;&#41;&#59; in our study&#44; in contrast&#44; where the mean age was over 40 years&#44; acne &#40;3&#37;&#41; was not among the top 5 complaints&#46;</p><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Informal and nonregulated patient care represents significant savings for the public health system&#46; We used designated costs for dermatology consultations &#40;based on the analytical accountancy system used for Andalusian hospitals and districts &#40;COAN-HyD&#41; and the COAN total costs module&#41;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> to calculate that savings for the Spanish public health system amounted to around &#8364;26&#160;000 for the initial consultations and &#8364;2000 for the follow-up consultations &#40;74&#46;4&#37; and 25&#46;6&#37;&#44; respectively&#44; of the 270 consultations&#41;&#46; Around a fifth of the informal consultations required the use of surgical&#44; histological&#44; laboratory resources&#44; etc&#44; but over half were diagnosed and treated empirically and so did not consume hospital resources&#46; Since a small proportion of requesters &#40;2&#46;6&#37;&#41; was referred to the family physician and so deferred to the formal system&#44; this cost should logically be deducted from the above savings&#46;</p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Nonregulated informal consultations represent an increased workload for dermatologists&#44; as do the additional consultations referred to in the study by Tejera-Vaquerizo et al&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> They also represent an important proportion of the care activities undertaken by dermatology residents on duty&#46; Obviously&#44; dermatologists who refuse to provide medical advice in this way&#44; or who persuade the requesters to postpone consultation to a formal appointment&#44; do not experience the same degree of overload&#46; According to the dermatologists who participated in this study&#44; additional and nonregulated consultations represent an extra workload of around 25&#37;&#44; to be added to formal appointments and residential duties&#46; Particularly time-consuming are consultations made on behalf of someone else&#58; the requester usually describes the other person&#39;s symptoms in detail&#44; but in most cases&#44; the dermatologist inevitably has to see the person with the skin complaint&#46; The dermatologists agreed that it was not infrequent for them to see 4 to 6 people per day in informal consultations&#44; in addition to 20 to 25 patients with formal appointments &#40;bearing in mind&#44; also&#44; that around 18&#37; of patients miss their appointment according to Tejera-Vaquerizo et al<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a>&#41;&#46; Furthermore&#44; according to the dermatology residents participating in this study&#44; the burden increases substantially during duty shifts&#46;</p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The circumstances of informal consultations may suggest poorer medical practice due&#44; for example&#44; to scant attention by the dermatologist&#46; According to the dermatologists in our study&#44; however&#44; care was similar &#40;75&#46;9&#37;&#41; or even better &#40;15&#46;6&#37;&#41;&#46; The advantages of this kind of informal consultation for the requesters are evident&#58; immediacy&#44; no waiting&#44; no cost&#44; etc<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a>&#59; the disadvantages are not so clear&#44; since care is of a quality similar to that provided in formal settings&#46; It would&#44; however&#44; be interesting to know something of the circumstances &#40;lighting&#44; privacy&#44; hygiene&#44; etc&#41; in which such consultations take place&#44; given that many are made in less than ideal conditions in corridors&#44; offices&#44; meeting rooms&#44; etc&#46; The characteristics of this particular kind of consultation&#8212;type of patient&#44; place of consultation&#44; reason for consultation&#44; etc&#8212;led Guberman et al<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> to state that individuals making informal consultations should be called requesters and not patients&#46; From the malpractice perspective&#44; many of these cases&#44; and especially the consultations on behalf of others&#44; reflect what Sanz Rubiales et al<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> call the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">recommendation syndrome</span>&#46; These authors concluded that many medical errors are the outcome of an attempt to offer more painstaking care to patients to whom the specialist is recommended&#44; with the most important errors occurring due to the patient&#39;s own attitude&#44; inefficient use of health care resources&#44; failure to include data in medical histories&#44; diagnostic test misinterpretations&#44; and changes to standard indications and to treatment&#46; Following appropriate procedures with patients would avoid many such errors&#46;</p><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; our aim was&#44; in the absence of similar studies&#44; to analyze the burden of informal consultations in the routine work of the dermatologist&#46; The requester profile is that of a female middle-aged nurse&#44; who consults for the first time for a benign melanocytic tumor&#46; The dermatologist typically prescribes empirical treatment or reassures and informs the patient&#44; and rates the level of care as similar to that for a patient with a formal appointment&#46; Nonregulated informal consultations increase the workload of dermatologists&#44; but are a particular burden for trainee resident dermatologists in their first steps in patient care&#44; given the great number of trivial complaints&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0055" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle">Conflicts of Interest</span><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest&#46;</p></span></span>"

In our hospital-based study&#44; for example&#44; the typical requester was a female&#44; middle-aged nurse&#44; reflecting the fact that our hospital has more female than male nurses and that its employees are largely middle-aged&#46;</p><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The skin complaints for which medical advice was requested were&#44; in the opinion of the dermatologists&#44; mainly mild&#46; The most frequent complaints were benign tumors&#44; specifically&#44; melanocytic nevi &#40;10&#46;7&#37;&#41;&#44; seborrheic keratosis&#44; and viral warts &#40;6&#46;7&#37; each&#41;&#46; Our findings partially corroborate the study by Tejera-Vaquerizo et al<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> regarding the reasons for additional consultations by dermatology patients &#40;ie&#44;

Half the patients in the study by Tejera-Vaquerizo et al were aged 10 to 40 years&#44; and acne was a frequent motive for consultation &#40;6&#46;8&#37;&#41;&#59; in our study&#44; in contrast&#44; where the mean age was over 40 years&#44; acne &#40;3&#37;&#41; was not among the top 5 complaints&#46;</p><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Informal and nonregulated patient care represents significant savings for the public health system&#46; We used designated costs for dermatology consultations &#40;based on the analytical accountancy system used for Andalusian hospitals and districts &#40;COAN-HyD&#41; and the COAN total costs module&#41;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> to calculate that savings for the Spanish public health system amounted to around &#8364;26&#160;000 for the initial consultations and &#8364;2000 for the follow-up consultations &#40;74&#46;4&#37; and 25&#46;6&#37;&#44; respectively&#44; of the 270 consultations&#41;&#46; Around a fifth of the informal consultations required the use of surgical&#44; histological&#44; laboratory resources&#44; etc&#44; but over half were diagnosed and treated empirically and so did not consume hospital resources&#46; Since a small proportion of requesters &#40;2&#46;6&#37;&#41; was referred to the family physician and so deferred to the formal system&#44; this cost should logically be deducted from the above savings&#46;</p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Nonregulated informal consultations represent an increased workload for dermatologists&#44; as do the additional consultations referred to in the study by Tejera-Vaquerizo et al&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> They also represent an important proportion of the care activities undertaken by dermatology residents on duty&#46; Obviously&#44; dermatologists who refuse to provide medical advice in this way&#44; or who persuade the requesters to postpone consultation to a formal appointment&#44; do not experience the same degree of overload&#46; According to the dermatologists who participated in this study&#44; additional and nonregulated consultations represent an extra workload of around 25&#37;&#44; to be added to formal appointments and residential duties&#46; Particularly time-consuming are consultations made on behalf of someone else&#58; the requester usually describes the other person&#39;s symptoms in detail&#44; but in most cases&#44; the dermatologist inevitably has to see the person with the skin complaint&#46; The dermatologists agreed that it was not infrequent for them to see 4 to 6 people per day in informal consultations&#44; in addition to 20 to 25 patients with formal appointments &#40;bearing in mind&#44; also&#44; that around 18&#37; of patients miss their appointment according to Tejera-Vaquerizo et al<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a>&#41;&#46; Furthermore&#44; according to the dermatology residents participating in this study&#44; the burden increases substantially during duty shifts&#46;</p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The circumstances of informal consultations may suggest poorer medical practice due&#44; for example&#44; to scant attention by the dermatologist&#46; According to the dermatologists in our study&#44; however&#44; care was similar &#40;75&#46;9&#37;&#41; or even better &#40;15&#46;6&#37;&#41;&#46; The advantages of this kind of informal consultation for the requesters are evident&#58; immediacy&#44; no waiting&#44; no cost&#44; etc<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a>&#59; the disadvantages are not so clear&#44; since care is of a quality similar to that provided in formal settings&#46; It would&#44; however&#44; be interesting to know something of the circumstances &#40;lighting&#44; privacy&#44; hygiene&#44; etc&#41; in which such consultations take place&#44; given that many are made in less than ideal conditions in corridors&#44; offices&#44; meeting rooms&#44; etc&#46; The characteristics of this particular kind of consultation&#8212;type of patient&#44; place of consultation&#44; reason for consultation&#44; etc&#8212;led Guberman et al<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> to state that individuals making informal consultations should be called requesters and not patients&#46; From the malpractice perspective&#44; many of these cases&#44; and especially the consultations on behalf of others&#44; reflect what Sanz Rubiales et al<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> call the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">recommendation syndrome</span>&#46; These authors concluded that many medical errors are the outcome of an attempt to offer more painstaking care to patients to whom the specialist is recommended&#44; with the most important errors occurring due to the patient&#39;s own attitude&#44; inefficient use of health care resources&#44; failure to include data in medical histories&#44; diagnostic test misinterpretations&#44; and changes to standard indications and to treatment&#46; Following appropriate procedures with patients would avoid many such errors&#46;</p><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; our aim was&#44; in the absence of similar studies&#44; to analyze the burden of informal consultations in the routine work of the dermatologist&#46; The requester profile is that of a female middle-aged nurse&#44; who consults for the first time for a benign melanocytic tumor&#46; The dermatologist typically prescribes empirical treatment or reassures and informs the patient&#44; and rates the level of care as similar to that for a patient with a formal appointment&#46; Nonregulated informal consultations increase the workload of dermatologists&#44; but are a particular burden for trainee resident dermatologists in their first steps in patient care&#44; given the great number of trivial complaints&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0055" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle">Conflicts of Interest</span><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest&#46;</p></span></span>"
