This article reviews currently available appropriate technologies which have been used in mental health, in order to reduce confusion and delay. Confusion (for example when and where to refer) can lead to error and waste. Similarly delay impacts quality and accessibility of the whole range of mental health services. As most secondary care mental health services use electronic patient records, it is arguably easier to apply technology in this speciality. However, consideration needs to be given to confidentiality and data security. Doctors of all specialities will be exposed to 'new' technologies over the next decade, and need to be aware of the direction of travel and its implications.
