ABSTRACT
The first four steps of the Online Clinical Practice Management (OCPM) model, discussed in chapters 11 and 12, deal with professional training, generating referrals, conducting patient training, and obtaining consent. The practitioner and the client know with whom they are dealing, the client knows enough about telecommunication services and devices, and the practitioner and the client have signed basic consent agreements. We now discuss clinical issues, the next three steps of the OCPM delivery phase: clinical assessment, direct care, and reimbursement.
