Adoption and implementation of telecommunication services which allow psychiatric services to be delivered have increased availability of care to patients in remote areas. Past studies have suggested that telepsychiatry services are comparable to traditional face-to-face services; and patients typically considered telepsychiatry an acceptable alternative. The purpose of this research was to examine and describe the efficacy of psychiatric care delivered via telemedicine (telepsychiatry) to determine whether telepsychiatry could improve outcomes for patients. Seven electronic databases were utilized with a total of 22 articles that were referenced as a basis for this literature review. The findings suggest telepsychiatry is an effective alternative compared to traditional methods. Future research should include controlled experiments that compare telepsychiatry to face-to-face psychiatry and incorporate newer technologies into the research. |
