At the outset of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, New York City faced the highest burden of COVID-19 cases in the United States. In response, the U.S. Federal Government deployed medical providers from various uniformed services to treat patients with COVID-19 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City. There quickly arose a need for psychiatric services for patients with COVID-19 and psychological support for medical staff. Psychiatrists were tasked with establishing a consult-liaison psychiatry service in this unique environment. The authors detail the establishment of a novel consultation-liaison psychiatry service in a large convention center and explore lessons learned from this experience with the aim to empower uniformed psychiatrists to prepare for and deliver patient-focused care in pandemic settings.
