ABSTRACT

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that leads to the disease COVID-19, has resulted in significant challenges for the medical and psychiatric communities. Much like other clinicians during this global pandemic, forensic evaluators have been faced with the difficult task of continuing their clinical work, while helping to maintain the safety of their examinees, support staff, correctional personnel, and themselves. As such, the implementation of telehealth appears to be a viable alternative to in-person evaluations, but questions regarding the fidelity of these forensic evaluations remain at the forefront. The goal of this paper is to examine data relevant to conducting forensic evaluations using telehealth platforms. We offer both pros and cons of using telehealth videoconferencing to conduct forensic evaluations, so that the forensic evaluator may make an informed decision regarding whether they plan to utilize this technology. Additionally, we discuss considerations for training in the delivery of telehealth services. This paper concludes with a discussion of areas for future research, such as the examination of modifications practitioners have made to their practice and the reliability of forensic opinions conducted over telehealth. We end by suggesting telehealth is the path forward for forensic evaluation, regardless of public health status.

视频会议在法医评估中的使用:在 COVID-19 时代向前发展

摘要

严重急性呼吸系统综合症冠状病毒 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 是导致 COVID-19 疾病的病毒,给医学和精神病学界带来了重大挑战。与此次全球大流行期间的其他临床医生非常相似,法医评估人员面临着继续开展临床工作的艰巨任务,同时还要帮助维护受检者、支持人员、惩教人员和他们自己的安全。因此,远程医疗的实施似乎是面对面评估的可行替代方案,但有关这些法医评估保真度的问题仍然是最重要的。本文的目标是检查与使用远程医疗平台进行法医评估相关的数据。我们提供了使用远程医疗视频会议进行法医评估的利弊,以便法医评估人员可以就他们是否计划使用该技术做出明智的决定。此外,我们还讨论了提供远程医疗服务的培训注意事项。本文最后讨论了未来研究的领域,例如检查从业者对其实践所做的修改以及通过远程医疗进行的法医意见的可靠性。我们最后建议远程医疗是法医评估的前进道路,无论公共卫生状况如何。本文最后讨论了未来研究的领域,例如检查从业者对其实践所做的修改以及通过远程医疗进行的法医意见的可靠性。我们最后建议远程医疗是法医评估的前进道路,无论公共卫生状况如何。本文最后讨论了未来研究的领域,例如检查从业者对其实践所做的修改以及通过远程医疗进行的法医意见的可靠性。我们最后建议远程医疗是法医评估的前进道路,无论公共卫生状况如何。
