Prompt
FRANZCP/MRCPsych-style viva. Slide 1: service map showing capital hub psychiatrists offering home video three half-days per week to a rural catchment without local emergency MOUs. Slide 2: rising ED crisis presentations and one mid-call suicide attempt last month where the patient's address was unknown. Slide 3: proposal to add asynchronous primary-care store-and-forward and a collaborative care manager. Follow-ups cover Shore/Mishkind emergency standards, Hilty effectiveness, Fortney/SPIRIT models, Yellowlees async RCT, Sabin ethics, COVID scale-up lessons, and paediatric ED tele pathways.

Interpretation

Reveal interpretationShowHide

Slide 1 diagnosis. A capital video roster without local emergency MOUs is incomplete service design. Effectiveness literature assumes well-designed systems; process standards require emergency planning, privacy, and documentation.[1][2][3]

Slide 2 critical incident. Unknown address during a mid-call attempt is a process failure, not merely bad luck. Identity, location, contacts, and local dispatch pathway are non-negotiable before high-risk assessment.[2][3]

Slide 3 opportunity. Adding async primary-care pathways and a care manager aligns with Yellowlees (async viability) and Fortney/SPIRIT (teleintegrated collaborative care) rather than bare telereferral alone.[4][5][6]
