About Us    
 
 

Psychiatry Networks (PN) is a virtual mental health clinic that uses its website, www.psychiatrynetworks.com, to provide educational content and an on-line clinic where carefully selected psychiatrists, psychologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and social workers offer access to real-time, face-to-face, audio/video mental health services via the Internet.

Founded by David Lopez, MD and using the Internet as its office, PN focuses on services for the general public as well as unique populations and groups such as National Guard members and families, servicemen utilizing VA services, other active and retired military personnel, farm families, and people living in rural/remote areas without access to mental health services. PN also provides point to point video conferencing to other clinics or institutions either on an individual patient basis or as a physician to physician basis.

PN provides clients the opportunity to obtain individual psychological and psychiatric evaluations and continuing treatment from the privacy of their own homes, outpatient locations or the work place. PN uses state of the art technology to allow providers to make old fashioned “house calls,” wherever that house may be. In providing services via the Internet, PN will offer clients the opportunity to obtain:

 
 
• Psychiatric assessments
• PTSD assessments and treatment
• Individual therapy
• Group therapy
• Sleep disorder evaluations
• Bereavement counseling
• Educational content
• Self screening tests for a variety of disorders
• ADHD Evaluations
• Sports Performance enhancement
• Neurological Analysis and Interpretation

PN has developed a secure portal through which the customer registers and connects to our therapists. We are governed by HIPAA regulations and have met all the standards for privacy, protected health information, and security. Providers that contract with PN’s Provider Association are licensed in multiple states and are matched during the scheduling process with patients residing in the states in which they are licensed.

If the patient does not have a web camera they may obtain one through PN. The camera is shipped to the patient along with instructions for its use as well as instructions on how to connect to our portal.

The patient’s Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is securely maintained and archived at the company’s headquarters. Records are retained and safeguarded according to generally accepted practices, regulatory body standards, and company record retention policies.

Appointments are scheduled through a central scheduling system. Patients may access providers through the secure web portal utilizing a password that has been provided to them. Virtual “private networking” and encryption technologies are utilized to protect the patient’s privacy and secure the session and the medical records.
