Region of Southern Denmark

Partner description

The Region of Southern Denmark (RSD) has 1.2 million inhabitants and four hospital units running 18 hospitals. The Region collaborates closely with 800 GPs, and the 22 municipalities that are responsible for preventative services, rehabilitation, and home care. All hospitals in RSD have implemented telemedicine services and the level of electronic communication is very high.

The Mental Health Services in the Region are embedded in secondary care and offer assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of citizens with serious mental disorders in close and binding collaboration with the practice sector, the municipalities, and the somatic healthcare service in the Region. The regional Centre for Telepsychiatry opened in Odense in November 2013 as the first of its kind, not only in the region, but in the country. The centre carries out a number of ongoing projects in the field of 'telepsychiatry' – delivering psychiatric treatment and expertise at a distance. The projects include telemedicine treatment for young people suffering from depression, telecommunication between citizen/patient, general practitioner, and the psychiatric hospital, as well as specialised assistance between doctors and experts from one department to another using telecommunication.

The clinic Internet psychiatry (iPsych) is operated by the Centre for Telepsychiatry in the Mental Health Services in the Region of Southern Denmark. In 2013, iPsych started on a trial basis. From 2015-2019, iPsych was operated on a temporary basis in the Region of Southern Denmark. Since 2019, iPsych has become a permanent offer in the Region of Southern Denmark. Additionally since 2018, iPsych has been offered nationwide on a temporary basis, so far until ultimo 2020.

iPsych is part of routine care in Denmark. Treatment is publically funded and free of charge for the patients. Patients self-refer for treatment via a website through a secure application form. The applications are screened by trained psychologists. To be eligible for treatment, patients must be 18 years of age or older and meet the diagnostic criteria for mild to moderate depressive disorder, single phobia, social phobia, and panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, according to the ICD-10. Patients are referred to treatment elsewhere in the cases of: diagnosed personality disorders, severe degree of current disorder, ongoing psychological treatment elsewhere, schizophrenia, bipolar or related disorders, PTSD, OCD as primary disorder, alcohol or drug abuse, enhanced risk of suicide.

Eligible patients are invited to a video-based assessment interview performed by a licensed psychologist or a psychologist under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. After the video-based assessment, eligible patients are invited into the iCBT program in Minddistrict. The iCBT program consists of sessions offering psycho education and cognitive behavioral therapy. The patient receives weekly clinical asynchronic written support from a psychologist. An ordinary treatment course lasts 10-12 weeks.
