Going telemental?

Steve Hards

When your editor Steve is dead, items like Telehealth program for neuropsychology kicks off in Scotland in FierceMobileHealthcare will surely set him spinning in his resting place. To quote: “…researchers are pushing hard to determine the efficacy, and best practice for what some are calling telemental health, or TMH. They’re researching everything from whether mental health patients are willing to try telehealth options, to whether telehealth can work as a standalone therapy.” The burning question is: Will videoconferencing with a psychologist be more effective than a phone consultation? Of course it will. You just need to give it a fancy name!
