Finding Aid To

THE RECORDS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY



Finding Aid Prepared By: Elizabeth Shepard Assistant Archivist

February 2010


PROVENANCE: The records were donated to the Medical Center Archives by Susan Sales from the Department of Psychiatry on 07/01/1993.

ADMINISTRATIVE/BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE:

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE: The records have been divided into two series: Administrative (1932-1989) and Committee Files (1960-1987). The bulk of the records were created by Robert Michels, Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, 1974-1991. In addition, the majority of the files represent activities conducted at the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic rather than Westchester Division. Series I: Administrative Files, 1932-1989 (Boxes 1-5, 8) This series, arranged alphabetically, contains administrative records for the Department of Psychiatry including annual reports (1972-1974), budgets (1958-1976, 1985-1986), and Development Office files (1984-1988). Series II: Committee Files, 1960-1987 (Boxes 6-8) This series, arranged alphabetically, consists of various committees of the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic and Westchester Division.

ACCESS RESTRICTIONS: A few files are protected under the federal law, HIPAA.

RELATED MATERIAL: Some of the committee files for the medical college or hospital were removed and catalaged separately.

Finding Aid To

THE RECORDS OF THE OFFICE OF THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR, DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY

(RICHARD KOHL)



Finding Aid Prepared By: Barbara St Mary

July 1982


Background Note: These are the Records of the Medical Director of the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic. For most of the years encompassing this collection, the Director was Richard N. Kohl. In 1962, Dr. Kohl was appointed the Clinical Director at Payne Whitney. His job was "to coordinate more effectively the various clinical activities of the in-patient service and between the in-patient service and the outpatient service." (Annual Report for 1962, Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic) He was also to relieve some of the burden of responsibility from the new Psychiatrist-in-Chief, William T. Lhamon. (In 1975 Dr. Robert J. Michels became the Psychiatrist-in-Chief.) In 1964 the title of Clinical Director was changed to Medical Director. In 1968 this was further amplified to Medical Director-Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic, with a separate office being established for the Medical Director of the Westchester Division. From January through June of 1970, Dr. Kohl served as Acting-Director of Payne Whitney, but he retained his title of Medical Director throughout this period and until 1976, at which time there was a changeover in the structure of the Department and the title of Medical Director was abolished. Dr. Kohl's duties during these changes did not alter. In 1978 he was named Deputy Director over all of the services. Dr. Kohl continued on at the Clinic until his retirement in June of 1981, having been at the Center since 1944. At his retirement, he was also a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry of Cornell University Medical College. Scope & Content Note: The Records of the Medical Director of Payne Whitney reflect closely the duties and concerns of that office. Among other things, it was the responsibility of the Office of the Medical Director to compile summaries and statistics of the various sections of the Department of Psychiatry for the Annual Reports. This collection contains these summaries of activities of the many divisions for the years of 1965-1974, but except for 1968/69, it does not contain the actual report submitted to the Director of the New York Hospital. As the coordinator of the various services within the Clinic, Dr. Kohl was involved intimately with not only all of the departments, but also with several committees. One of these committees, the Clinical Council, was formed in 1977 when the Payne Whitney Adult Clinical Service Committee and the Chairman's Committee merged. Minutes from all of these groups are in these files. Another committee represented here is the Payne Whitney Clinic Utilization Review Subcommittee. Dr. Kohl was Chairman of this group until September of 1975, when the committee became the Utilization Review and Medical Audit Subcommittee (Psychiatry), at which time Dr. Kohl became co-Chairman with Dr. M.R. Mattson, the Assistant Medical Director. This collection contains a large body of correspondence and reports that reflect the Clinic's efforts to comply with Medicare standards, and to prepare for the site visits from the State Department of Health that this implied. Payne Whitney was usually but not

always, surveyed twice a year: once for general compliance with the Medicare rules and policies and a second time for compliance with the utilization Review and other particular aspects of the Medicare law. The files on these visits have been separated according to the purpose of the visit. When no definite indication of purpose was found, or if the two surveys were done at the same time, the records are filed together. The Payne Whitney facilities were also reviewed by representatives of the Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Hospital s (JCAH). 1976 marked the first year Payne Whitney was surveyed by a psychiatrist and not by a general medical reviewer. The Oskar Diethelm Historical Library, one of the foremost Psychiatric libraries of its kind, is represented here, as are several other subjects that Dr. Kohl as Medical Director was involved in. His interest in each of the different departments of Payne Whitney, and in the people who staffed them, is very apparant. There are files on Nursing, Social Service, Occupational Therapy and Recreational Therapy. There were also a series of files on various people working at Payne Whitney, but they were mainly duplicates of the official personnel records and were removed from the Collection. Again, they reflect Dr. Kohl's need, and desire, to know his staff. The Records of the Medical Director have been arranged alphabetically by folder title and chronologically within each file. Because some files arrived at the Archives late, there are two seperate alphabetical series. Subjects: Annual Reports, Payne Whitney Clinic, 1965-1971, 1979/80. Art. Diethelm, Oskar. Diethelm Historical Library. JCAH Kohl, Richard N, MD. Legal . Medical Records. Medicare and Medicaid. Minutes. Nursing. Outpatient Department, Payne Whitney Utilization Review: Westchester Division.
