Telepsychiatry.

Abstract

Limitations in available funding changed the scope of work of the proposed Cooperative Agreement. Accordingly, The Menninger Clinic conducted surveys to assess the need for and use of telemedicine services to support the MHS in three TRICARE regions. The Lead Agents for these TRICARE regions represented the Army, Air Force, and Navy respectively. Menninger designed surveys to assess behavioral health services in the three TRICARE regions and define the role of telepsychiatry with the Military Health System (MHS). The survey indicated a need for a comprehensive plan for implementation of behavioral health services using telemedicine applications. The Lead Agent offices and MTFs expressed enthusiasm for telepsychiatry and a growing familiarity with its applications.
