Asynchronous telepsychiatry (ATP) training for clinicians is outlined, focusing on essential skills like brief interviewing, behavioral health knowledge, and e-competency. This model enhances integrated behavioral health service delivery.
Area of Science:
- Psychiatry
- Digital Health
- Behavioral Health
Background:
- Asynchronous telepsychiatry (ATP) offers a flexible model for behavioral health consultation, especially in primary care settings.
- Developing standardized training for ATP clinicians is crucial for effective service delivery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline a training model for asynchronous telepsychiatry (ATP) clinician skills.
- To identify key skill sets and technology competencies required for ATP interviewers.
Main Methods:
- A training model was developed and implemented for five ATP clinicians.
- Training involved seminars, case supervision, and discussions led by experienced telepsychiatrists.
- Expert feedback sessions over five years synthesized themes for skill recommendations.
Main Results:
- Three core skill areas were identified: brief psychiatric interviewing, behavioral health knowledge, and clinical documentation/e-competency.
- Technology training recommendations included privacy, troubleshooting, and video management.
- The study provides a suggested training model for ATP integrated behavioral health.
Conclusions:
- The developed training model addresses essential skills for ATP clinicians.
- Further rigorous studies are needed to validate training for ATP and other technology-based behavioral health services.
