Objective: The authors evaluated available evidence to determine whether telemedicine services should be allowed in seven nationally reported behavioral health quality measures in the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set.
Methods: The authors searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews for articles that met several inclusion criteria (relevant diagnosis and age, as specified in the quality measures). They also consulted expert panels on whether, and how, to include telemedicine in behavioral health measure specifications.
