The topic of patients recording healthcare consultations has been previously debated in the literature, but little consideration has been given to the risks and benefits of such recordings in the context of mental health assessments and treatment. This issue is of growing importance given the increasing use of technology in healthcare and the recent increase in online healthcare services, largely accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss the clinical, ethical and legal considerations relevant to audio or visual recordings of mental health consultations by patients, with reference to existing UK guidance and the inclusion of a patient's perspective.
患者记录医疗咨询这一话题此前已在文献中被讨论过,但在心理健康评估和治疗的背景下,对于此类记录的风险和益处却很少有人考虑。鉴于医疗保健领域技术使用的增加以及近期在线医疗服务的增多(很大程度上是由新冠疫情加速推动的),这个问题变得越来越重要。我们参照英国现有的指导意见并纳入患者视角,讨论与患者对心理健康咨询进行音频或视频记录相关的临床、伦理和法律考量。
