Discussion Prompt
Define the term telemedicine
Discuss the differences between collaborative care and integrative care.
Discuss the development of telemedicine considerations in children and youths and how you can collaborate with their current pediatric primary care provider.
Consider a situation where you believe the child is in an abusive situation, either with a caregiver outside the home or for an adolescent in an abusive relationship with another older adolescent. What options would you offer to encourage collaborative care between primary care and psychiatric care (you have options of telemedicine and in-office visits)?
Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis and include peer-reviewed journal evidence to support the students position.
