Psychiatric Care Via Videoconferencing

Patients in the online consultation (intervention) group have monthly consultation with their attending psychiatrist through videoconferencing during one year. After each consultation, the medication is sent to the patient through a home delivery program. For reasons of patient safety, consultations at baseline, and after 6 and 12 months will be realized in a face-to-face form at the Institute of Psychiatry (IPq).
