We describe the use of telemedicine by the Biobehavioral Service at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics to conduct brief functional analyses for children with developmental and behavioral disorders who live in rural areas of Iowa. Instead of being served at our outpatient facility, participants received initial behavioral assessments in their local schools or social service agencies via videoconference. Case descriptions for 2 participants whose evaluations were conducted via telemedicine, and a brief summary of all outpatient assessments conducted over a 4-year period by the Biobehavioral Service, are provided. This report extends previous applications of functional analysis procedures by examining brief behavioral assessments conducted via telemedicine.
我们描述了爱荷华大学医院及诊所的生物行为服务部门如何利用远程医疗为居住在爱荷华州农村地区、患有发育和行为障碍的儿童进行简短的功能分析。参与者并非在我们的门诊机构接受服务，而是通过视频会议在其当地学校或社会服务机构接受初步行为评估。本文提供了通过远程医疗进行评估的2名参与者的案例描述，以及生物行为服务部门在4年期间进行的所有门诊评估的简要总结。本报告通过研究通过远程医疗进行的简短行为评估，扩展了功能分析程序的先前应用。
