APA survey results and webinar on telehealth/telepsychiatry
Survey Results on Telehealth
The American Psychiatric Association recently conducted a survey among its members to get a better understanding of how its member psychiatrists have adapted telehealth services into their practice in the era of COVID. Our members who responded practice in a variety of settings, including solo practice, hospitals, academic settings, group settings, and community mental health centers. Most accept some form of insurance, with about a quarter indicating that they were self-pay.
Advancing the Use of Telehealth Through Education and Advocacy - Webinar
As states lift stay-at-home orders, and data shows COVID continues to spread in some areas, the use of telehealth remains an important tool for patients to access mental health and substance use disorder treatment while keeping patients, clinicians, families, and communities safe through physical distancing. The webinar will focus on how to refine the use of telehealth to better serve patients and highlight advocacy efforts at the federal and state levels to continue telehealth flexibilities.
