These are a supplement to the clinical policies and procedures already established for Nunavut physicians and nurses. The services were in the areas of audiology, dietetics\/nutrition, midwifery, occupational therapy, ophthalmic services, pharmacy, physiotherapy, psychology, respiratory therapy, social work and speech therapy. Documents specific to each of the services were developed, drawing on information from Government of Nunavut data, Nunavut healthcare providers and links made through the Internet. Topics included the scope and limitations of telehealth services, staff responsibilities, training and reporting, professional standards and cultural considerations. We also considered generic policies covering common issues such as jurisdiction, licensing and liability. The policies and procedures for AHPs will enhance and expand the successes already achieved with telehealth in Nunavut. The challenges are to balance the preferred approaches to service provision with the realities of health care and communications in an Arctic setting. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/135763305775124650","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,14]],"date-time":"2005-12-14T22:13:10Z","timestamp":1134598390000},"page":"39-41","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Achievements and challenges on policies for allied health professionals who use telehealth in the Canadian Arctic"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"D","family":"Hailey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Telematics Unit, University of Calgary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V","family":"Foerster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oxford Station, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B","family":"Nakagawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fraser Health Authority, British Columbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T M","family":"Wapshall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brockville Psychiatric Hospital, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J A","family":"Murtagh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Victoria, British Columbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Smitten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grant MacEwan College, Edmonton"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J A","family":"Steblecki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Law Institute, University of Alberta, Edmonton"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virtual Healthcare Solutions Inc., Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-135763305775124650","unstructured":"Digital Healthcare Solutions.
