Telemedicine and tele-mental health
About telemedicine and virtual care
CHEO relies on telemedicine to provide clinical appointments when appropriate. Using videoconferencing technology in conjunction with medical instruments such as electronic stethoscopes and specialized cameras allows health care providers to perform remote patient examinations and manage follow-up care at a distance.

About Tele-Mental Health Service
The Tele-Mental Health Service is provided in collaboration by CHEO, Sick Kids and CPRI. It provides clinical, program and educational services provided by child & youth psychiatrists. This service is for remote communities that do not have access to psychiatry and the consultations are done via videoconferencing through OTN. A mental health clinician makes the referral and assists the family at the consultation. You can find the referral package on SickKids website.
How to make an appointment
For more information on the referral process, please contact Ghyslaine Paquette, the Tele-Mental Health Service Coordinator at 613-737-7600 x1296, or via email at paquette@cheo.on.ca
