Provision of psychiatric services during the pandemic required flexibility, innovation, and collaboration. Going forward, telepsychiatry will offer accessible and effective treatment options. Increased collaboration with multidisciplinary providers, a critical component of effective treatment during the pandemic, should augment future treatment relationships. Large practice organizations continue to develop and disseminate best practices, and providers and institutions must continuously adapt and improve services. An increased focus on the utility of novel and innovative technology's role in psychiatry has emerged during the pandemic, and although openness to innovation will be critical, as will adherence to use of scientifically validated tools and procedures.
