  1. Telepsychiatry Solutions: Bringing Healthcare to Vulnerable Patients' Homes The pandemic has disruptedlives and affected everyone’s mental health in different ways. How can you ensure that your psychiatric practicecan continue serving patients during this time? The answer is by using telepsychiatry solutions. Telemedicine has long been instrumental in allowing medical service providers—including psychiatrists—to offerservices to patients who cannot come to their clinics, and it’s even more vital nowadays. For psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, digital telepsychiatry solutions are the key to bringing healthcare services tothose who want or need to stay home. Here are just some of the many features you can expect from these technologies: Mobile applications Your patients can use a telemedicine app on their smartphone or any kind of mobile device to receive their consultation. Aside from eliminating the need for them to travel to your clinic, another advantage of telemedicine app is that it simplifies the process of scheduling appointments and patient visits. Anyone needing professional help for their mental health will be able to get the support that they need whenever and wherever they are/want. Video conferencing Telepsychiatry solutions allow video consultations for clarity and seamless communication between patients and the healthcare provider. All consultations are recorded safely so that nothing gets lost in translation later. This also makes records-keeping easier and more efficient. Privacy and confidentiality While there are active measures being taken to stop mental health stigma and normalize mental health treatments, many people are still afraid to admit that they suffer from mental illness. Though telemedicine does not directly fight social stigma, it does offer a safer and more secure alternative to patients—a platform where they can be assured that their privacy is protected. Higher participation rates Studies show that 50% of patients fail to show up for in-office medical appointments because of barriers to such as cost concerns, lack of time, and poor accessibility to care. This is why many mental health professionals are turning to telepsychiatry to improve rates of participation. Patients are less likely to miss appointments if they can get a consultation in the privacy of their homes using telepsychiatry solutions. Alleviate the shortage of mental healthcare professionals Among the many issues that telepsychiatry addresses are the shortage of medical professionals specializing in mental health. Armed with telemedicine platforms, psychiatrists can reach and care for more patients regardless of their locations. Transit time is virtually eliminated, saving mental health professionals hours that they can use instead to serve more patients.
