Feasibility and Effectiveness of Telepsychiatry for Collaborative Management of Chinese Americans With Psychiatric Disorders in a Nursing Home
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Psychotropic medication (at discretion of psychiatrist) and Collaborative psychiatric and primary medical care for Major Depressive Disorder. Completed, enrolled 9 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The current use of telepsychiatry, or psychiatric care using videoconferencing, is very limited. The present study investigates the use of this method with a depressed Chinese American population in a nursing home. It is believed that this population can benefit from telepsychiatric treatment when used in collaboration with the primary care they receive in the nursing home.
