Telepsychiatry is the delivery of psychiatric services using interactive audio and visual electronic systems between a provider and a patient that are not in the same physical location. These services may also include electronic prescribing, appointment scheduling, communication via email or electronic chat, electronic scheduling, and distribution of patient education materials.

The potential benefits of telepsychiatry are:

• Reduced wait time to receive psychiatric care.

• Aoiding the need to travel to a psychiatrist.

The potential risks of telepsychiatry include, but are not limited to:

• There could be some technical problems (video quality, internet connection) that may affect the telepsychiatry session.
• Pure Psychiatry of Michigan utilizes software that meets the recommended standards to protect the privacy and security of the telepsychiatry sessions.

Alternatives to the use of telepsychiatry:

• Traditional face-to-face sessions.

 I understand that I have the following rights with respect to telepsychiatry:

• I also understand that the dissemination of any personally identifiable images or information from the telepsychiatry interaction to researchers or other entities shall not occur without my written consent.

• In addition, I understand that telepsychiatry based services and care may not be as complete as facetoface services. I also understand that if my psychiatrist believes I would be better served by another form of psychiatric services (e.g. faceto face services) I will be referred to a psychiatrist who can provide such services in my area. Finally, I understand that there are potential risks and benefits associated with any form of psychiatry
