[Quality of the diagnoses' coding (main or associated diagnoses) in the medico-administrative database for psychiatric care (RIM-P) in 2015 and 2016, France].
Based on the observation of the misuse of ICD-10 to code the diagnoses in the RIM-P (lack of completeness, conformity and diversity), the Technical Agency for information on Hospital Care (ATIH), which provides tools for collecting medical information, conducted two actions in 2016. First, a chapter devoted to the instructions of coding has been written in the methodological guide of production of the RIM-P, second, a variable "type psy" was added to the ICD-10 nomenclature's file framing ICD-10 coding in the RIM-P. The purpose of this study is to describe the quality of diagnosis coding using ICD-10 in the RIM-P in 2015 and 2016. ⋯ This study emphasizes the need for a collective effort to improve the diversity of the diagnoses' coding in the RIM-P.

[The perception of liaison psychiatry by the medico-chirurgical services].
Research addressing the perception of liaison psychiatry by caregivers is still limited in Morocco. Collaboration between practitioners in liaison psychiatry is necessary, and the perception of physicians influences their implications in liaison psychiatry. ⋯ Our study showed several difficulties perceived by practitioners, whether in the diagnosis, treatment or follow-up of patients with psychiatric manifestations. Collaboration between different practitioners is an indispensable element of patient management. Improving knowledge through awareness-raising and the organization of scientific days bringing together the different specialties will help to improve doctors' perceptions.
