1. Telepsychiatry

   Telepsychiatry also known as e-psychiatry, is the application of telemedicine to the specialty field of psychiatry. As of 2011 it has been the most successful of all the telemedical applications to date, as it typically only needs adequate videotelephony service between the patient and the psychiatrist, especially for follow-up treatments. One of the drivers behind telepsychiatry's growth in the United States is a national shortage of psychiatrists, particularly in speciality areas like child and adolescent psychiatry. There has been a national rise in psychiatric consumer needs but few facilities have the staff to properly treat all patients. Thus telepsychiatry services have become an alternative. There are a growing number of HIPAA compliant technologies used for telepsychiatry. An independent comparison of telemental health technologies is available to help psychiatrists choose technology based on their practice criteria. "Comparison of Telemental Health Technologies" Telepsychiatry has a variety of sub-specialties based on different applications of service delivery. For example, forensic telepsychiatry is when an inmate is connected to a remote psychiatrist or nurse practitioner for psychiatric evaluations, medication consultations, suicide watch, required pre-parole evaluations and more. Forensic telepsychiatry significantly cuts down correctional facilities costs because inmates no longer need to be escorted and transported to distant off site appointments and psychiatric interventions., Home-based telepsychiatry, is another sub-specialty where the patient is in his or her own home, accessing the physician by a webcam and high-speed Internet service. This sub-speciality raises questions of security and possibly HIPPA violations, so while an increased number of individual psychiatrists are adopting this method with willing, interested patients, larger telepsychiatry service providers focus on delivering telepsychiatry to formal facilities where secure video links can be established thus avoiding legal privacy issues.
