The non-physician employees in telemedicine centers (TMC) play a decisive role in the care and treatment of patients with heart failure. For this reason, a holistic profile consisting of professional and methodological as well as social and personal competences is necessary, which should be built up or promoted in corresponding training concepts. This position paper underlines the urgency of appropriate and standardized further training of non-physician employees for quality assurance in TMCs and summarizes the requirements for the additional qualification of a telemedical assistant across the board.

However, such serious-game concepts are scarcely available for eMH training for mental health care professionals.
