OTN psychiatry
A service that allows people who do not have access to a local psychiatrist in their community to complete one-on-one assessments with a psychiatrist from another part of the province via telecommunication. This service also assists people with mobility issues as they need only to travel to a local Telehealth studio, rather than to a psychiatrist’s office. Quest CHC acts as a local Telehealth studio for their clients as needed.
