目的：组织间实践委员会召开了一次会议，为应对新冠肺炎疫情提供远程神经心理学（TeleNP）的快速指导。方法：来自主要专业组织的专家合作小组制定了疫情期间神经心理学实践的临时指导。利益攸关方包括美国临床神经心理学学会/美国临床神经心理学委员会、美国国家神经心理学学会、美国心理学协会第40分部、美国专业神经心理学委员会和美国心理学协会服务公司。该小组审查了文献;整理联邦，地区和州的法规和信息，从保险公司，并调查从业人员，以确定最佳practices.Results：文献表明，TeleNP可以提供可靠和有效的评估，但临床医生需要考虑的限制，制定新的知情同意程序，报告修改标准程序，并限制诊断结论和建议。具体的限制会影响对老年人、年幼儿童、接触技术有限的个人以及具有其他个人、文化和/或语言差异的个人的TeleNP评估。鉴于特定的患者特征、情况和转诊问题，TeleNP可能是禁忌或不可行的。对TeleNP服务计费的考虑是有保留的，临床医生必须独立验证程序。有关技术问题和指导“提示”TeleNP procedures.Conclusion：本文件提供了临时指导资源和建立远程心理学的指导方针的链接。具体建议将这些实践扩展到TeleNP。这些建议可能会随着情况的变化而修订，并不断在IOPC.online上公布最新情况。
Objective: The Inter Organizational Practice Committee convened a workgroup to provide rapid guidance about teleneuropsychology (TeleNP) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.Method: A collaborative panel of experts from major professional organizations developed provisional guidance for neuropsychological practice during the pandemic. The stakeholders included the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology/American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology, the National Academy of Neuropsychology, Division 40 of the American Psychological Association, the American Board of Professional Neuropsychology, and the American Psychological Association Services, Inc. The group reviewed literature; collated federal, regional, and state regulations and information from insurers; and surveyed practitioners to identify best practices.Results: Literature indicates that TeleNP may offer reliable and valid assessments, but clinicians need to consider limitations, develop new informed consent procedures, report modifications of standard procedures, and state limitations to diagnostic conclusions and recommendations. Specific limitations affect TeleNP assessments of older adults, younger children, individuals with limited access to technology, and individuals with other individual, cultural, and/or linguistic differences. TeleNP may be contraindicated or infeasible given specific patient characteristics, circumstances, and referral questions. Considerations for billing TeleNP services are offered with reservations that clinicians must verify procedures independently. Guidance about technical issues and "tips" for TeleNP procedures are provided.Conclusion: This document provides provisional guidance with links to resources and established guidelines for telepsychology. Specific recommendations extend these practices to TeleNP. These recommendations may be revised as circumstances evolve, with updates posted continuously at IOPC.online.
