[ORTCCTelehealth-TAO] New tele-mental health guidelines

[Sue Palsbo, PhD]

Guidelines for the
delivery of remote mental health services are now available from the
American Telemedicine Association. The guidelines are designed to form
the standard of care for such services and will be the basis for the
development and practice of uniform, effective, safe and sustainable
telemental health practices, the association said. They will also serve
as an operational reference and an educational tool to aid in providing
appropriate care for patients. The guidelines focus on the use of two-way, interactive videoconferencing in the
delivery of telemental health services, and comparison of outcomes
between various approaches used in its delivery.  Here is the link:
