Telemental Health
More than 30 randomized controlled trials demonstrate the feasibility and value of telemental health services.
Patient- and provider satisfaction with telepsychiatry services equals satisfaction with in-person care.
Outcomes for psychiatric services provided by video-conferencing are comparable to those provided in-person for many psychiatric conditions and patient populations
Telepsychiatry is often thought of as a modality for rural- and frontier areas. While that is one very effective application, telepsychiatry services can also reduce or eliminate access barriers for a variety of patient subpopulations including non-English speaking-, deaf or hearing impaired-, and homebound or nursing home patients, among others.
Telepsychiatry is really an application to consider whenever there is a patient with a psychiatric need, a psychiatrist capable of responding to that need, and a barrier to getting them to the same place at the same time.
