Abstract
- Linked to increasing consumer demand for access to health care information and to the worldwide expansion of telecommunication services, telehealth has emerged as a new domain of practice within professional psychology. Psychologists who plan to incorporate telecommunication technologies (e.g., Internet and point-to-point videoconferencing) into their practices should first conduct a self-assessment and then enhance their knowledge and skills in using these alternative forms of service delivery. The current article provides a self-study framework, known as STEPS, for psychologists to use in planning for telehealth practice. STEPS focuses on 5 key domains of telehealth practice and organizes specific self-study questions around each of these domains.
