went into it (telemedicine) very reluctantly
because I thought I would miss the one-on-one
energy. I anticipated it being difficult.
And it turns out, I love it!"

Clinical telemedicine services
generally are delivered within the NARBHA system
or between NARBHA clinics and the Arizona State
Hospital. However, the statewide telebehavioral
health network, RBHAnet, also has been used
to provide clinical services to NARBHA patients.
For example, a psychiatrist in Tucson, using
a University of Arizona videoconferencing endpoint,
provided services to NARBHA patients in Prescott
for over a year under contract with NARBHA’s
Prescott clinic, West Yavapai Guidance Center.
