INTRODUCTION Telehealth has become one of the main methods of delivering allied health professional services world-wide, yet many professionals do not have sufficient training to deliver high-quality telehealth services. This review aims to identify what competencies allied health professionals require for effective telehealth service delivery. METHODS This scoping review used the Population Concept Context framework and searched the following databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsychInfo, Cochrane, EMBASE, Web of Science, PEDro, United Kingdom Health Forum, WHO, Health Education England, and all UK and Australian AHP professional bodies. RESULTS A total of 37 articles were included out of 92,525 identified by the literature search. Competencies were related to two areas: (1) delivery of the telehealth consultation and (2) service management of telehealth consultations. The first area included the following competency themes: clinical reasoning, communication, effectively using technology, person-centred care, practice-based assessment and intervention knowledge/behaviour/skills, privacy, security, and patient safety, professionalism, and setting up the technical environment. The second area included the following competency themes: digital infrastructure, informing practice, and management. Although findings emphasised the importance of telehealth competencies, none have been implemented within education. One-third of the articles were from the discipline of psychology. CONCLUSION This is the first scoping review to combine telehealth competencies reported across allied health disciplines. Although there were a vast range of competencies, they need implementation into teaching and learning to be practically useful. Most competencies were from psychology, but potentially applicable for other allied health professionals. A shared and adaptable standard for telehealth competencies would be useful to ensure high-quality practice across all allied health professionals.

专职医疗专业人员的远程医疗能力：范围界定审查。

简介 远程医疗已成为在全球范围内提供联合医疗专业服务的主要方法之一，但许多专业人员没有接受足够的培训来提供高质量的远程医疗服务。本次审查旨在确定联合医疗专业人员提供有效的远程医疗服务所需的能力。方法 本次范围界定审查使用了人口概念背景框架并检索了以下数据库：MEDLINE、CINAHL、PsychInfo、Cochrane、EMBASE、Web of Science、PEDro、英国健康论坛、世界卫生组织、英国健康教育以及所有英国和澳大利亚 AHP 专业人士身体。结果 文献检索92,525篇，共纳入37篇。能力涉及两个领域：(1) 提供远程医疗咨询；(2) 远程医疗咨询的服务管理。第一个领域包括以下能力主题：临床推理、沟通、有效使用技术、以人为本的护理、基于实践的评估和干预知识/行为/技能、隐私、安全和患者安全、专业精神以及建立技术团队。环境。第二个领域包括以下能力主题：数字基础设施、信息实践和管理。尽管调查结果强调了远程医疗能力的重要性，但尚未在教育领域实施。三分之一的文章来自心理学学科。结论 这是第一次将跨联合医疗学科报告的远程医疗能力结合起来的范围界定审查。尽管能力范围很广，但它们需要落实到教学和学习中才能发挥实际作用。大多数能力来自心理学，但可能适用于其他专职医疗专业人员。远程医疗能力的共享且适应性强的标准将有助于确保所有专职医疗专业人员的高质量实践。
