Description

Provides psychiatric assessment, medication management and monitoring, and medical consultation or referrals as needed to address the mental health needs of Zepf Center Patients. The service assists in the ongoing stability of patients in collaboration with support services. Patients have the option of seeing one Zepf Center's on-site psychiatrists or a psychiatrist via our Telepsychiatry services. Telepsychiatry is traditional psychiatric services provided over a secure connection between two computers. Patients are seated in an office equipped with a monitor (TV), small camera, speakers and microphone. Instead of having the psychiatrist seated in the room with the patient, interaction will be via the computer connection (similar to Skype, FaceTime, web conferencing, etc). They have the ability to see, hear the provider over the speakers, and be able to talk to provider through the microphone. The provider will be able to see, hear and speak to the patient through the equipment in his off-site office.
