Use of Telepsychiatry in Emergency and Crisis Intervention: Current Evidence.
Current Psychiatry Reports 2019 July 2
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this review is to evaluate recent literature on the use of telepsychiatry in mental crises or emergency situations.
RECENT FINDINGS: Results from recent studies which evaluated the implementation of a telepsychiatric consultation model in emergency departments point at a reduction of length of stay and a drop in admissions, increased cost-effectiveness, and improved satisfaction of patients and staff. There was almost no empirical evidence on videoconferencing in crisis intervention within the context of crisis resolution teams or online therapies. No study reporting on telepsychiatry videoconferencing in the context of disasters was found. There is still very little but increasing empirical evidence supporting the implementation of telepsychiatry in emergencies. Other mental crisis-related implementation settings remain to be researched. The implications and future research potential are discussed.
