An Exploration of Telehealth in Mental Health: Using client personas and journey maps to guide service enhancements
As a follow up initiative to the 2019 Mental Health Access and Pathways report, this video was developed to to demonstrate how client personas and journey maps from the project could be used to guide changes in service delivery. Telehealth is used as the example of a change in service delivery.
The video focuses on the personas of Mel and Rex. A ‘telehealth assessment criteria’ was developed and applied to each of their personas and the moments that matter on their journey maps. The application of the criteria assists with drawing focusing to each of the persona’s individual tech preferences, social circumstances and other factors that could influence their desire to participate in telehealth support. The application of this criteria allowed us to review whether a change in traditional service delivery (face to face support/provision of written information to telehealth support/provision of digital information) might be useful in addressing some of the pain points identified in Mel and Rex’s journey.
The video has been broken up into four parts so that once it has been watched in its entirety, if viewers desire, they can go back to the section of the video they want to watch again.
We recommend if possible, while watching the video, you have a copy of the report or a copy of the personas and journey maps to refer to.
