“…However, the rapid full-scale transition served as a venue to provide behavioral health services on a similar scale without major interruptions in the continuity of clinical care. We recognize the need for careful evaluation of the impact and outcomes of telebehavioral health using the measures outlined by the American Telemedicine Association [ 9 ].…”

The use of telebehavioral health has been expanding in the past decade to improve access to psychiatric care and address critical shortages in the psychiatric workforce. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forced a sudden shift from traditional in-person visits to alternative modalities. There are key factors associated with successful transitional and large-scale implementation of telehealth with existing resources. We describe the experience of a large health care system using telehealth technology, and we identify strategies and discuss considerations for long-term sustainability after the pandemic.

“…We assessed processes (i.e., activities involved in an intervention’s implementation) via feasibility and acceptability outcomes. Outcomes were categorised into the three domains in accordance with the telemedicine literature [ 42 ]: professional practice outcomes (e.g., professionals’ knowledge, skill, and confidence, technical quality (performance, concordance with best practice guidelines, fidelity to evidence-based protocols, time to reaching a clinical decision; [ 43 ]); clinical outcomes (e.g., change in identified clinical symptoms over time); and feasibility and acceptability outcomes (e.g., provider and/or patient satisfaction, the perceived ease (preference, comfort, fit, readiness) of providers to use digital communication technologies, interpersonal quality (team communication)). Studies that included at least one measure of professional practice outcomes and/or at least one measure of clinical outcomes were included in the review.…”

Digital communication technologies can be used for team consultation, case management, and information sharing in health and mental health services for children and young people (CYP). The objective of the systematic review was to investigate the evidence as to whether digitally-mediated team communication for CYP improves outcomes. We searched PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library for relevant studies. Results were synthesised narratively. Seven studies were identified from 439 initial records. Analysis highlighted that digitally-mediated team communication is generally valued by professionals for supporting practice and that there is overall satisfaction with the process. There was preliminary evidence (from one study) that clinical outcomes from digitally-mediated team communication are comparable to those achieved by a collaborative service model with direct specialist care to service users via digital communication technology. There is a need for further high-quality research into clinical outcomes and service user experience, as well as financial implications.

“…Early research on supportive peer group programs for children and adolescents had consistent strong outcomes of greater social interaction, increases quality of life, and fewer depressive symptoms found at the final 12‐month measures compared with control groups across several clinical trials (Grootenhuis et al, 2009; Last et al, 2007; Scholten et al, 2013). The most frequently used and extensively verified Internet care provided from a distance include mental health services (Grady et al, 2011; Lamb et al, 2019; Shore et al, 2014). A meta‐analysis of online programs found enhanced effects on group participants with higher depression scores (Eysenbach et al, 2004; Ritter et al, 2014).…”

Telehealth distance health care is a significant resource for young, chronically ill patient populations given their numerous medical complexities and their concomitant depression and/or suicide ideation experiences. This manuscript shares the telehealth methods used to prepare for a larger study of interventions for increasing adolescents' and young adults' chronic care resiliency and skills for preventing depression. The young patients in this study were prescribed lifelong home parenteral nutrition infusions, treatment for those with short gut bowel diseases. The training methods for our mental health nurse and psychologist to conduct depression and suicide ideation assessments from a distance are presented. The study implementation methods of group facilitated interventions and discussion are reviewed. The group discussions were conducted via audiovisual telehealth devices over encrypted firewall-protected connections with patients in their own homes and professionals in an office. The results of assessments of the 40 participants, 25% (n = 10) with depressive symptoms or suicide ideation, are described. Following participants' assessments, their subsequent depression measures were all in the normal range, without any suicide ideation, across the year of the study. Patient evaluation ratings were high in the areas of being able to connect with other young patients in similar situations, using the audiovisual equipment, and learning new useful information from the interventions. The methods developed for the study ensured that the safety and well-being of participants were supported through telehealth.
