Abstract
Because of their excitement over new technologies and their enthusiasm for extending services, providers are often eager to jump right to providing services. However, experience has shown that the most successful telepractices have taken the time to carefully identify and define program needs before beginning. A structured development process allows the provider to consider decisions and impact before making costly decisions. This chapter provides an overview of business planning and suggests additional resources for completing this in-depth process. The topics presented next are relevant for providers who either are interested in solely offering telemental health (TMH) services or who wish to augment their existing in-office services. This chapter informs providers working within a health care system as well as those who work alone or in group practices. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
