  2. UHS/DE Telepsychiatry Project The Albemarle Hospital Foundation received a grant from the Duke Endowment (DE) to implement telepsychiatry in University Health System (UHS) Hospital Emergency Departments.

  3. Telepsychiatry Telepsychiatry is the use of two-way real time-interactive audio and video, run on a secure network with encryption, meeting all confidentiality standards, between places of lesser and greater psychiatric expertise to provide and support psychiatric care. This is especially useful in rural areas where access to specialty care is limited or non-existent.
