在过去的十年中，远程精神病学-使用电信技术从远处提供精神病服务-已越来越多地用于精神卫生保健的许多领域。自2007年Khalifa及其同事进行审查以来，与远程精神病学的法医应用相关的文献数量大幅增长，尽管在英国增长幅度不大。在目前的审查中，我们的目标是提供一个更新的摘要自2007年以来发表的文献，以确定提高远程精神病学在法医实践中的利用的有效性和可行性。回顾的文献提供了一些令人鼓舞的证据，远程精神病学是一个可靠的，有效的和高度可接受的方法，在法医环境中提供精神卫生保健。还有一些论文表明，从长远来看，使用远程精神病学对保健提供者来说可能具有成本效益。需要进一步的研究来考虑在法医环境中使用远程精神病学的潜在法律的和伦理影响。
In the last decade, telepsychiatry - the use of telecommunications technologies to deliver psychiatric services from a distance - has been increasingly utilised in many areas of mental health care. Since the review by Khalifa and colleagues in 2007 the body of literature relevant to the forensic applications of telepsychiatry has grown substantially, albeit not by much in the United Kingdom. In the current review, we aim to provide an update summary of the literature published since 2007 to determine the effectiveness and feasibility of increasing telepsychiatry utilisation in forensic practice. The literature reviewed provides some encouraging evidence that telepsychiatry is a reliable, effective and highly acceptable method for delivering mental health care in forensic settings. There are also a number of papers that indicate the use of telepsychiatry may be cost effective for health providers in the longer term. Further research is required to consider the potential legal and ethical implications of using telepsychiatry in forensic settings.
