Official title
A Pilot Study Examining Use of Asynchronous and Synchronous Telepsychiatry Consultation for Skilled Nursing Facility Residents
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Specific Aims: This study aims to assess the acceptability of asynchronous telepsychiatry (ATP) and synchronous (STP) in rural Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) population, in a 12-month randomized controlled trial. ATP relies on video recording of a psychiatric interview, where the video is later reviewed by a psychiatrist to make a psychiatric diagnosis and treatment recommendation to the primary treatment team. STP is real-time, face-to-face psychiatric assessment using video conferencing to come up with a psychiatric recommendation. People residing in SNFs generally rely on primary and consultant physicians to visit them and rarely have outpatient psychiatrist follow-up. SNFs offer more services than what is available to primary care office, and include 24- hours skilled nursing services, physical therapy, nutritional consultation, occupational therapy, social services, wound care, and psychiatric consultation when available. SNF residents are unable to live independently due to their multiple medical comorbidities and are therefore more medically ill than patients who are typically seen in primary care settings. The present study aims to demonstrate feasibility and to collect pilot data in SNFs. This study is funded by the UC Davis Behavior Health Center of Excellence grant via the California Mental Health Services Act (Prop 63). In a larger, future study, the investigators intend to demonstrate that ATP will be no different than STP in clinical outcomes but will be more accessible and cost effective.
