Chapter 32.Telemental Health and e-Mental Health Applications With Children and Adolescents
Sections
Excerpt
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) refer to telemedicine as the delivery of health care services via real-time interactive videoconferencing that includes both audio and video components (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services 2020). When telemedicine is used to deliver mental or behavioral health care services, the term telemental health (TMH) is used. In the past, graduate clinical education rarely included TMH. Over the past two decades, however, federal mandates for health care reform (President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health 2003; see also www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-110publ425/html/PLAW-110publ425.htm) have converged with technological innovations to make telemedicine a viable service delivery model.
