“…The changes in the health sector have been affected from internal processes to how the health-care sector interact with external entities such as external health-care users. The little interaction with the outside world may trigger several disorders for some of the patients already with certain underlying mental health issues (Johnson and Rehfuss, 2020). Smith et al (2020) point out that outpatients with underlying health conditions are discomforted to visit hospitals for medical assessment and care.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to provide current state of knowledge on how the COVID-19 emergency situation necessitated the behaviour influencing use and acceptance of telehealth. This study interlinks the health belief model (HBM) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to highlight the challenges and opportunities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the public health sector. Design/methodology/approach This study used three online databases (Emerald publishing, Science Direct and Taylor and Francis) that enabled the authors to access electronic journal articles. Search strategy was used to extract articles based on the relevance of this study. Findings The key findings from this study suggested that the COVID-19 emergency forced health-care workers and their patients to rapidly use and rely on telehealth to reduce the rate of COVID-19 transmissions. The key benefits of telehealth use highlighted an expansive cost effective and convenient access to health-care services irrespective of geographical local and levels of physical impairment. Moreover, telehealth inhibited in person human interaction, which was perceived as impersonal and not ideal for new patient consultations. The barriers outweighed the benefits; as a result, it is unlikely that there will be a wide use of telehealth beyond the COVID-19 emergency situation. Practical implications The research findings are limited to discussions drawn from available secondary data. The criteria within telehealth for policymakers to note the technology acceptance and use for both health-care and outpatient stakeholders and their health seeking behaviour. Health-care sectors (private and public) and government need to understand enablers of effective telehealth in policymaking to ease the barriers during an emergency situation like a pandemic. Originality/value This study contributes to the emerging literature on how COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted and accelerated telehealth by extending both the UTAUT and HBM theories. This study is expected to contribute and expand literature on telehealth during emergency situations, given the novice nature of COVID-19 and limited literature surrounding it.

“…Specific training to prepare PCs for IPTs in hospital settings is rare but has included interprofessional counseling classes with health care students or professionals for course credit (Johnson et al, 2015; Johnson & Rehfuss, 2021), simulation‐based exercises (Fowler & Hoquee, 2016), workshops (Quealy‐Berge & Caldwell, 2004), and joint field experiences (Crumb et al, 2018; Vereen et al, 2018). In addition, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration–Health Resources and Services Administration grant mechanism for interprofessional behavioral health workforce training, of which several counselor education programs were recipients, enabled additional advanced training opportunities for counselor trainees interested in counseling in hospital settings (Health Resources and Services Administration, 2014).…”

This qualitative study explored the experiences of 11 professional counselors who work on interprofessional teams in hospital settings. We conducted semistructured interviews and identified four themes using interpretative phenomenological analysis: (a) support patient care and positive team interactions, (b) interprofessional supervision, (c) scope of practice, and (d) ethical considerations. Implications for interprofessional supervision and professional counselors’ contribution to interprofessional engagement in hospital settings are discussed.

“…Despite the efficacy of telehealth ERP, transitioning to telehealth was difficult for some clinicians with more limited experience. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, most training programs (e.g., psychology, psychiatry) did not provide training in how to engage in telehealth, and clinicians looking to obtain training had to seek seminars and workshops independently [13] . However, providers were able to quickly, and often at no cost, obtain additional telehealth training through large scale organizations [16] .…”

This commentary outlines assessment and treatment of patients with OCD during the era of COVID-19. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has required providers to make important considerations in treatment, including how usual risk is defined, as well as the use of personal protective equipment and telehealth services. These considerations have allowed providers to continue using both reliable and valid assessment procedures, as well as previously established and efficacious interventions. These adjustments create a context in which patient care for OCD remains fundamentally unchanged; however, important considerations should still be made because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
