e-Competency Skill Sets: Technology Training Recommendations for the Asynchronous Telepsychiatry Interviewer

SKILL	REQUIREMENT	SKILL EVALUATION PROCEDURE
1. Technology use for recording, storage, and retrieval	ATP interviews should have training and knowledge on how to set up, execute, and troubleshoot the recording program used. If using a web-based program to record and store, it is best to use a secure VPN network if possible.	One-on-one training with an experienced ATP clinician and technology support as needed
2. Privacy and confidentiality (e.g., HIPAA25 compliance)	All clinical professionals should have training on HIPPA privacy and security, which covers what patient information should be protected under state and federal privacy laws as well as how to maintain the privacy and security of PHI.	Expanded CITI26 and compliance training
3. Technology troubleshooting	It is also advised that clinicians have an alternate option to record interviews if there is no secure connection or if wireless internet is not available. When using this method of recording and storing, videos should be kept in a password-protected locked file or flash drive until it is properly transferred to a secure location.	One-on-one training with an experienced ATP clinician and technology support as needed
