The program began July 1, 2009, and operates 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week.
What can the program do for sites? A child and adolescent psychiatrist is available via telephone to provide consultation to physicians such as pediatricians, family practice physicians, and general psychiatrists. There is no charge for these consults.With cases that need more personal attention, physicians may request a video consult that allows the physician and patient to discuss their case with the PsychTLC staff. If the physician does not have interactive video equipment available, arrangements can be made for the doctor and/or doctor/patient consult at one of UAMS’ eight Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) located around the state. In this instance, the PsychTLC coordinator will coordinate with one of the AHEC Centers to schedule the appointment as well as to ensure the connection is functional and ready for the consultation to take place.
Accepting new members? Yes.
Prerequisites: To participate in a consult, individuals calling must have the ability to prescribe. In example, some of the professionals who have used this service are pediatricians, family practice physicians, and general psychiatrists.
