How have you implemented telepsychiatry into your practice in correctional facilities? What method do you use to provide telepsychiatry to your patients in prisons, ie, software, hardware, and Internet connections? Who is involved in a typical telepsychiatry session in a correctional facility? What services are provided via telepsychiatry? How have inmates reacted to the utilization of telepsychiatry? How has telepsychiatry benefited your practice? How has the utilization of telepsychiatry affected inmate access to mental health care? How has the utilization of telepsychiatry affected the cost of providing mental health services to inmates in your practice? Are there any other significant advantages or disadvantages to telepsychiatry utilization in correctional facilities that we have not discussed?
