Figure 1. — Status quo of accessibility, technical suitability, and legislative and financial regulation of telepsychiatry in the European Psychiatric Association member states. A task force of the EPA’s National Psychiatric Associations Council surveyed senior representatives of the individual EPA member associations (N = 44) on the availability, acceptance, financing, and perceived advantages and disadvantages of synchronous telemedicine appointments. The survey was conducted between February and May 2022. Then, 35 of the 44 invited countries provided data. Respondents were satisfied with the accessibility and technical suitability of telepsychiatry for psychiatrists (57.14 and 51.43% rated it excellent and good, respectively), but not with the rate of financial reimbursement (28.57% excellent or good vs 40% poor and very poor). Furthermore, the legislative regulation was considered unsatisfactory (20% excellent or good vs 48.57% poor and very poor).
