We have reached a critical convergence in psychiatry between the changing systems of health care structure and funding, our evolution into a technology-based society, and growth in the science and delivery of psychiatric treatments. Fostered by this convergence is the maturation over the past two decades of telepsychiatry, in the form of live interactive video conferencing, as a critical tool to improve access, increase quality and reduce costs of psychiatric treatment. This article reviews the history and evolution of telepsychiatry including implications for the field in order to provide individual psychiatrists and psychiatric organizations guidance on how to formulate current and strategic directions. This article begins with a broad overview of the history of medicine providing contextualization of the development of the field of telepsychiatry. It concludes with projected trends and recommendations.
在精神病学领域，我们正处于一个关键的交汇点，这体现在不断变化的医疗保健结构和资金体系、向技术型社会的演变，以及精神科治疗科学与服务的发展之中。在这种交汇的推动下，远程精神病学在过去二十年里逐渐成熟，其形式为实时互动视频会议，成为改善精神科治疗的可及性、提高质量和降低成本的关键工具。本文回顾了远程精神病学的历史与演变，包括对该领域的影响，以便为个体精神科医生和精神科组织提供有关如何制定当前和战略方向的指导。本文首先对医学史进行了广泛概述，为远程精神病学领域的发展提供背景信息。文章最后给出了预测趋势和建议。
