FasPsych, the nation’s leading provider of telepsychiatry services and integrated behavioral health staffing solutions, continues to innovate while making enhanced telepsychiatry staffing options available today. Organizations can immediately access a broader, more diverse network of licensed mental health providers through secure, HIPAA-compliant telepsychiatry platforms.
In recent years, the demand for mental health services has increased while access to care has declined, prompting many hospitals and healthcare organizations to turn to telepsychiatry to better manage patient needs. The COVID-19 pandemic led to the rapid adoption of telepsychiatry, as healthcare systems quickly integrated digital technologies and adapted legal frameworks to deliver care remotely. Telepsychiatry has become a cost-effective solution, enabling providers to see more patients without the need for physical travel. These advancements benefit patients by improving access, convenience, and outcomes in mental health care.

FasPsych’s telepsychiatry provider network now includes psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, licensed therapists, counselors, psychologists, LCSWs, LPCs, and LMFTs — all available immediately for your facility. Psychiatrists play a key role in delivering high quality care, including developing personalized treatment plans for new patients and ongoing care for the existing patient population.
This expanded telepsychiatry staffing model lets organizations treat psychiatric conditions alongside non-medical mental health needs such as trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, and stress management. You can combine services or select the exact provider type required, all delivered via high-quality telemedicine with consistently strong patient satisfaction scores. FasPsych emphasizes long-term provider relationships and continuity of care, which leads to fewer missed appointments and more stable, long-term treatment for the patient population.

Addiction medicine & substance use disorders

Telepsychiatry is also widely used in emergency rooms and emergency departments to provide timely psychiatric care for patients with mental illness, especially when on-site psychiatrists are unavailable. This approach enhances the ability of emergency departments to deliver appropriate care and treatment for individuals with serious mental health issues. Telepsychiatry has proven especially effective for ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, PTSD, depression, and other mental illnesses. Studies show that telepsychiatry achieves similar diagnostic accuracy to in-person care, and clinicians report their clinical judgement is not compromised when using video systems for assessments. Psychiatry as a field has embraced telepsychiatry, integrating it into modern mental health delivery.
Through secure video-based telepsychiatry staffing, your organization can access the exact expert needed — regardless of location — while meeting all state licensing and privileging requirements. Rural clinics, correctional facilities, and residential programs gain immediate access to specialized care previously out of reach.
Medication Management: Prescription and Monitoring in Telepsychiatry
Effective medication management is a cornerstone of high-quality mental health services, and telepsychiatry has revolutionized how these services are delivered. With FasPsych’s telepsychiatry platform, mental health providers—including psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners—can remotely prescribe and monitor medications, ensuring patients receive timely and appropriate care without the need for in-person visits. This is especially valuable for individuals in rural areas, correctional facilities, or those with mobility challenges, who may otherwise face significant barriers to accessing mental healthcare.
Through secure video conferencing and advanced telecommunications technology, FasPsych enables comprehensive psychiatric care from the initial visit through ongoing follow-ups. During the first appointment, providers conduct a thorough assessment of the patient’s mental status, discuss treatment options, and develop a personalized plan that may include medication, talk therapy, or a combination of both. E-prescribing capabilities allow prescriptions to be sent directly to the patient’s preferred pharmacy, streamlining the process and reducing delays in starting treatment.
Medication management via telepsychiatry is particularly effective for treating a wide range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). By closely monitoring patient progress and adjusting treatment plans as needed, providers can address side effects, ensure medication adherence, and optimize clinical outcomes. This evidence-based approach, supported by organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association, leads to better patient outcomes and higher satisfaction rates.
Telemental health services are increasingly recognized by state medical boards and health plans, making it easier for organizations to integrate telepsychiatry into primary care, emergency departments, and behavioral health programs. Professional counselors, family therapists, and other members of the clinical team can collaborate seamlessly, expanding access to high-quality mental health care for more patients.
By leveraging telepsychiatry for medication management, FasPsych helps healthcare organizations improve access, reduce wait times, and deliver better outcomes for diverse patient populations—including adolescent patients, older adults, and those with complex mental health needs. As the demand for mental health services continues to grow, telepsychiatry stands out as a vital tool in bridging gaps in care, supporting the well-being of individuals and communities, and enhancing the overall mental health delivery system.

FasPsych supports compliance with the Joint Commission’s updated guidelines, which require hospitals to screen for suicidal ideation and perform risk assessments as part of accreditation. Our telepsychiatry services help your organization meet these standards efficiently.
Telepsychiatry appointments can be scheduled individually with a psychiatrist or therapist for a live video appointment. First visits typically last 60 minutes, with follow-ups scheduled for 30 minutes. Patients should prepare for telepsychiatry appointments just as they would for in-person care, including bringing relevant records and a list of questions.
Telepsychiatry can improve the patient experience by increasing access and convenience, but the care setting—whether remote, in-clinic, or at-home—can influence satisfaction and outcomes. The vast majority of patient opinion studies in telepsychiatry have low response rates, which may limit our understanding of patient perceptions. While telepsychiatry is viewed as safe and effective by many professional bodies and is encouraged when possible, some patients—especially older adults or those with complex needs—may still prefer in person care. There is limited evidence of in-person care being superior to telepsychiatry, with only one study reporting this finding.
FasPsych continues to expand and innovate its telepsychiatry services, but the enhanced provider network you need is already here and ready to deploy today.
