12. Telepsychiatry

14. Definition of
Telepsychiatry
 Telepsychiatry is the application of telemedicine to the
specialty field of psychiatry. The term typically
describes the delivery of psychiatric assessment and
care through telecommunications technology,
usually videoconferencing.

15. Goals of Telepsychiatry
 1- cover the shortage of psychiatrists.
 2- allow fewer doctors to serve more patients.
 3- make it easier for psychiatrists to treat patients in
rural or under-served area.

16. Sub-specialties
 Home-based telepsychiatry:
 Psychiatric treatment of patients who are at home or in
another private setting is called home-based
telepsychiatry or direct-to-consumer telepsychiatry, and
it can require only a webcam and high-speed internet
service. The growth in home-based telepsychiatry is
attributed to a shortage of psychiatrists and the ability to
reach people in rural areas. The telepsychiatrist needs to
consider several factors before starting treatment. They
must receive informed consent and guarantee that the
use of telepsychiatry is safe for the patient, use secure
videoconferencing platforms compliant in order to
protect the patient's privacy and provide the same
standard of care as in a traditional office.

17. Sub-specialties
 Forensic telepsychiatry:
 Forensic telepsychiatry is the use of a remote
psychiatrist or nurse practitioner for psychiatry in
a prison or correctional facility, including psychiatric
assessment, medication consultation, suicide watch
and more. Telepsychiatry can deliver significant cost
savings to correctional facilities by eliminating the
need for prisoners to be escorted to off-site
appointments and psychiatric interventions.

18. Sub-specialties
 On-demand telepsychiatry:
 As of 2008, guidelines are being developed for the
provision of telepsychiatric consultation for
emergency psychiatric patients, such as the evaluation
of suicidal, homicidal, violent, psychotic, depressed,
manic, and acutely anxious patients. However,
emergency telepsychiatry services are already being
provided to hospital emergency departments, jails,
community mental health centers, substance abuse
treatment facilities, and schools.

19. Sub-specialties
 Scheduled Telepsychiatry:
 Many facilities that offer behavioral health care are
turning to telepsychiatry providers to allow for an
increased care capacity. With routine telepsychiatry, a
consistent provider or small group of providers serve
a regular caseload of consumers in previously
scheduled blocks of time. Remote providers can be
consulted for medication management, treatment
team meetings, supervision, or to offer traditional
psychiatric assessment and consultations.


20. Important Questions
 Can telepsychiatry prescribe medication?
 Yes. psychiatrists are able to prescribe all
psychotropic medications for patients seen virtually.
 Does telepsychiatry affect quality of patient care?
 There is substantial evidence of the effectiveness
of telepsychiatry and research has found satisfaction to
be high among patients, psychiatrists and other
professionals. Telepsychiatry is equivalent to in-
person care in diagnostic
accuracy, treatment effectiveness, quality of care and pat
ient satisfaction.
