Correction to: An Interprofessional Framework for Telebehavioral Health Competencies

Professionalism and Technology: Competencies Across the Tele-Behavioral Health and E-Behavioral Health Spectrum

“…These will include, at a minimum, obtaining written informed consent from the patient or guardian for use of technology in performing the assessment. Tele-psychiatry guidelines address the need for back-up at the patient's site, a plan for addressing acute safety issues, and particular consideration of developmental issues when assessing children [20].…”

A Digitally Competent Health Workforce: Scoping Review of Educational Frameworks (Preprint)

“…As a result, a total of 30 frameworks are presented in this review (Figure 1), of which 16 were found through a gray literature search. In terms of methodology, 14 frameworks employed literature review as an initial step, subsequently finalizing the frameworks through the use of expert consultations (n=5) [37][38][39][40][41], focus group discussions (n=3) [33,34,42,43], Delphi methodology (n=5) [31,32,[44][45][46][47], or expert surveys [48]. In total, 11 other frameworks used one or a combination of methodologies (ie, Delphi, expert discussions, workshops, surveys) to reach consensus, largely by engaging various experts such as informaticists, health professionals, educators, and academics [21,22,36,[49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56].…”

“…In terms of geographical relevance, 15 frameworks were country-specific [21,33,37,38,40,42,45,47,48,50,[55][56][57][58][59], 1 was specific to the European Union region [61], 5 were applicable globally [35,36,41,49,52,54], and the remaining did not specify (n=9). In terms of health care settings, 4 were developed for remote care delivery [39,51,53,60], 1 framework each for hospitals [48], acute care [41], and homecare [50], while the remaining frameworks either were applicable to all health care settings (n=5) [42,45,56,57,59] or did not specify (n=18). In terms of health professions, 14 frameworks targeted nurses, 4 targeted doctors, of which one also included dentists, and 1 framework each targeted psychiatrists, dietitians, and public health professionals; 9 frameworks targeted health care workers in general, of which 5 specified the inclusion of administrative, information technology (IT) support, and health informatics specialist roles [41,52,54,57,61], and 1 specified the inclusion of allied health professionals [39].…”

Among the nursing frameworks, 7 were meant for in-service nurses [21,31,32,[42][43][44]46,48], 5 for preservice nursing students [33][34][35][36][37]53,58], and 2 for both [22,50].…”

“…Other frameworks that inspired the development of subsequent frameworks include the IMIA [49], which was adapted by the AHIEC [57] to create national informatics standards for Australian health professionals, health informaticians, and specialists; the frameworks by Barakat et al [50] and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges [59], which were adapted by Van Houwelingen et al [53] to develop a telehealth framework aimed at nurses; and the telepsychiatry framework by Hilty et al [60], which laid the foundation for telebehavioral health competencies by Maheu et al [39].…”
