Peter M. Yellowlees,  M.D., touts the value of telemedicine in this brief Medscape video, with text.

He concludes”:

“It is clear that 60 years after the first telepsychiatry consultation, the evidence is now in. We should no longer be thinking of telepsychiatry as being ‘new.’ Instead, we should be integrating a range of information technologies for clinical care routinely into our practices. Patients greatly appreciate the convenience and improved accessibility, and physicians can rest assured that what they are doing has a strong evidence base. Thank you for listening to this Medscape Psychiatry Minute. I look forward to seeing you online.”
