The Merriam Webster Online Dictionary lists "Customize" as a transitive verb meaning "to build, fit or alter according to individual specifications."  At Access Psychiatry we believe that there is no one-size-fits-all model for telemental health integration.  Each health care facility is unique and any plan for implementation must start from that understanding.

Patient population, payer mix, location, practitioner composition, organizational mission and priorities and agency objectives are all factors that will define the how, when, and what of telemental health integration.

But here are a number of results that are expected and necessary across agencies:  Clinical quality, access, efficiency, and sustainability, among others.  Whether it is getting psychiatric consultation to a rural CAH emergency department or preparing an inner city family practice to detect and mange depression and alcohol misuse effectively, Access Psychiatry will help you customize your implementation so it does what you want it to.
