A telemedicine link was established in 1996 between the island of Inishmore and the department of psychiatry in University College Hospital, Galway. The link was mainly used to facilitate emergency consultations between patients on the island and the duty psychiatrist, always at the request of the island's general practitioner. Nine patients were referred for assessment in this manner over eight months. Three patients had their first psychiatric contact and assessment through the video-link, and were followed up as outpatients via the link to eventual resolution of the episode of illness and discharge at the outpatient clinic. Our experience has been that videoconferencing systems are acceptable and satisfactory for patients and staff alike.

“…The change to small and medium-sized units in the community provides a challenge for communications technology to facilitate the assessment of patients and the exchange of information between staff members. Whilst psychiatrists have used telephone and video technology in the past (Dwyer, 1973;Solow & Weiss, 1971), the technology has not been widely applied as cost is a major factor (Mclaren, Watson, Summerfield & Lipsedge, 1992). In this paper, a preliminary evaluation of a part of the psychiatric assessment via a prototype digitized Low-Cost VideoConferencing system (LCVC) is described.…”

Mini-Mental State Examination scores were compared in an adult psychiatric population when the test was performed face to face and over a Low-Cost VideoConferencing System (LCVC). The minor changes to the instrument that are required to make it compatible with the LCVC are described. The high correlations achieved between the test scores in the two conditions suggests that this cognitive screening test may be reliably performed in this group of patients over the LCVC.

“…Approximately 150 patients were seen over two and a half years, the majority of consultations being with airport employees who had what are referred to as situational crises and who were consulting psychiatrists for the first time. In contrast to the study reported above (Solow et al 1971)where psychotherapy was avoided, prolonged supportive and explorative psychotherapy was carried out with 7% judged to have character disorders or psychosis. Only 5% had severe psychi atric disorders.…”

“…Therapist responses are not reported. Solow et al ( 1971) described the use of interactive television to provide a community psychiatric service where previously none existed. They studied the use of a microwave close-circuit TV link between the Department of Psychiatry of the Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, New Hampshire and a com munity hospital in Claremont 26 miles away.…”

Population movements away from large cities and congestion in urban areas create problems for the delivery of psychiatric care which are compounded by the move towards greater care in the community. These developing service patterns require adequate methods of communication between service com ponents. There is a proliferation of new technology offering opportunities for improved national and international communication in psychiatry as in other branches of medicine. It will be important to decide which technological innovations will improve the efficiency of service delivery rather than end up as expensive 'gadgets', or solutions looking for prob lems to solve. In this paper the use of interactive television in psychiatry is reviewed and the impli cations for the evaluation of new communications technology are discussed.
