What term describes modalities that do not require direct, one-on-one patient contact by the provider?

The idea being tested is how much direct, one-on-one contact the clinician must have when delivering a modality. If the clinician must be present with the patient for the entire treatment, that’s a constant attendance modality. The term we’re looking for describes modalities that can be administered under supervision without the clinician being in the room for every moment. Those are supervised modalities. The clinician oversees the treatment, but trained staff can apply the modality, so direct continuous personal contact isn’t required. Remote modalities and group modalities describe different delivery contexts, but they don’t capture the standard arrangement where supervision replaces constant hands-on presence.
