Download or read book Clinical Videoconferencing in Telehealth written by Peter W. Tuerk and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research findings and dissemination are making healthcare more effective. Electronic health records systems and advanced tools are making care delivery more efficient. Legislative reforms are striving to make care more affordable. Efforts still need to be focused on making healthcare more accessible. Clinical Videoconferencing in Telehealth takes a comprehensive and vital step forward in providing mental health and primary care services for those who cannot make traditional office visits, live in remote areas, have transportation or mobility issues or have competing demands. Practical, evidence-based information is presented in a step by step format at two levels: for administrators, including information regarding selecting the right videoconferencing technology, navigating regulatory issues, policy temples, boilerplate language for entering into care agreements with other entities and practical solutions to multisite programming; and for clinicians, including protocols for safe, therapeutically sound practice, informed consent and tips for overcoming common technical barriers to communication in clinical videoconferencing contexts. Checklists, tables, templates, links, vignettes and other tools help to equip professional readers for providing safe services that are streamlined and relevant while avoiding guesswork, false starts and waste. The book takes a friendly-mentor approach to communication in areas such as: Logistics for administrators: Clinical videoconferencing infrastructures and technologies Policy development, procedures and tools for responsible and compliant programming Navigating issues related to providing services in multiple locations Protocols for clinicians: The informed consent process in clinical videoconferencing Clinical assessment and safety planning for remote services Minimizing communication disruption and optimizing the therapeutic alliance Clinical Videoconferencing in Telehealth aptly demonstrates the promise and potential of this technology for clinicians, clinic managers, administrators and others affiliated with mental health clinical practices. It is designed to be the comprehensive “one-stop” tool for clinical videoconferencing service development for programs and individual clinicians.

Download or read book Assessment of Videoconferencing in Telehealth in Canada written by Hussein Z. Noorani and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is a synthesis of survey responses and project evaluation reports from eight telehealth programs across Canada where VC is used to provide health care and continuing health and medical education at a distance. In addition, a literature review from 1998 to present as perfomed to evaluate the efficacy of VC from research studies. The literature search yielded over 270 articles and reports. Given the size and population of Canada, the number of sites covered by VC and the number of patients seen by VC in telehealth is very small. Establishing systems for patient care using VC technology is feasible. However, there is little evidence from the literature of either its clinical or economic benefit, especially regarding its cost-effectiveness when compared to FTF care. All the programs surveyed reported some positive results using VC. This includes improved communications between colleagues, better access to care, and a high level of patient satisfaction. This report offers some suggestions regarding future considerations for VC programs in telehealth in Canada. These include the need for quality outcome studies regarding clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness, and the need for guidelines for planning and implementation, user training, and program sustainability over the long-term.
Download or read book Use of Videoconferencing to Facilitate Interdisciplinary Practice written by Jennifer A. V. Wood and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of videoconferencing on a system of interdisciplinary care. Utilizing the model proposed by Field (1996), the affect of telehealth on the quality, access, cost, and acceptability of care was examined. This was accomplished by utilizing an existing interdisciplinary team operating within a regional intermediate care facility for individuals with mental retardation. For the purposes of this study, the videoconferencing classrooms managed by a local university were used to connect members of the medication review team to clients from eight community groups each located approximately 79 miles from the main campus. All participants completed both a face-to-face and videoconference consultation. When compared to face-to-face services, videoconference consultations were more cost efficient and accessible while successfully maintaining both quality of care and provider/client acceptability. The results of the study suggest that videoconferencing technology may be a suitable means of augmenting existing mental health services for adults with mild to moderate mental retardation.

Download or read book TIP 35 Enhancing Motivation for Change in Substance Use Disorder Treatment Updated 2019 written by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.
