Telehealth removes the drive, the waiting room and the time away from school or work. Appointments take place by secure video, and patients can join from home, a private office or any quiet space with an internet connection. All that is required is a device with a camera and microphone, and a smartphone, tablet or laptop all work.
The American Psychiatric Association states that telepsychiatry is equivalent to in-person care in diagnostic accuracy, treatment effectiveness, quality of care and patient satisfaction. Follow-up rates are also higher with telehealth, because appointments are easier to keep.
