Objectives: To describe the development of a protocol and practical tool for the safe delivery of telemental health (TMH) services to the home. The COVID-19 pandemic forced providers to rapidly transition their outpatient practices to home-based TMH (HB-TMH) without existing protocols or tools to guide them. This experience underscored the need for a standardized privacy and safety tool as HB-TMH is expected to continue as a resource during future crises as well as to become a component of the routine mental health care landscape.

基于家庭的远程心理健康：提议的隐私和安全协议和工具

目标：描述用于向家庭安全提供远程心理健康 (TMH) 服务的协议和实用工具的开发。COVID-19 大流行迫使医疗服务提供者在没有现有协议或工具指导的情况下，迅速将其门诊实践转变为基于家庭的 TMH (HB-TMH)。这一经历强调了对标准化隐私和安全工具的需求，因为 HB-TMH 有望在未来危机期间继续作为一种资源，并成为常规心理健康护理领域的一个组成部分。
