The objective was to investigate how telepsychiatry works in the assessment of psychiatric emergency patients. Sixty consecutive patients referred to the acute open ward having their first psychiatric contact through the videolink with the psychiatrist on duty. Only minor technical problems occurred. The results suggest both acceptance and satisfaction on the part of patients and staff with new technology, instead of waiting for a consultation or traveling to see a psychiatrist in face-to-face meeting. Telepsychiatry seems to be suitable for the assessment of psychiatric emergency patients, and satisfactory for patients and staff alike.
目的是研究远程精神病学在评估精神科急诊患者方面的工作方式。连续60名通过视频链接与值班精神科医生首次进行精神科接触并被转诊至急性开放病房的患者。仅出现了一些小的技术问题。结果表明患者和工作人员对新技术都表示接受和满意，而不是等待会诊或前往面对面会见精神科医生。远程精神病学似乎适用于评估精神科急诊患者，并且对患者和工作人员来说都令人满意。
