As a result, a problem was identified with concern to psychiatric providers not conducting medication-induced movement disorder assessments due to a lack of knowledge, which was causing delays in care for Veterans. This delay in care could have significant impact on Veterans health. With the growing necessity for telehealth services, more research will be required to inform best practice and provide valid assessment to healthcare providers in all disciplines to ensure the best health outcomes.}, number = {ETD}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/t148fh81z}, recid = {9120}, address = {2021}, }
