Telehealth and Telemental health

Dementia Care, Coordination & Transitions

An interesting pilot study to determine the usefulness of Telehealth and Telemental health within a Home Based Primary Care program. It served a rural community where access to health care was difficult. The aspect of the pilot study that I found pertinent to our topic is the Telemental health component. Six veterans participated with diagnosis including dementia, depression, PTSD, and anxiety. MMSE ranged from 18 to 30.
