Principles of Practice: Telehealth as an Imperative Modality
of Care
The ATA is committed to advancing telehealth through education, evidence, and policy leadership. We work to inform patients, clinicians, payers, and policymakers about the appropriate and effective use of telehealth across all clinical disciplines.
Grounded in trust, transparency, and outcomes-based care, these principles—developed by the ATA’s Clinician Council—guide our policy efforts, partnerships, and member standards.

The Advocacy Engine Behind Digital Health
Launched in 2022 as the registered 501(c)(6) affiliate of the ATA, ATA Action turns policy priorities into durable legislative wins — at the federal level and in all 50 states.
Where the ATA sets the institutional agenda, ATA Action drives it forward: engaging policymakers from both parties, working closely with federal agencies, state legislatures, and healthcare professional boards, and building broad coalitions to advance policies that expand access to digitally enabled care.
Mission
To lead the advancement of virtual care and digital health by serving as a member-driven catalyst for innovation, policy leadership, and collaboration to create better outcomes for patients and a more sustainable system for clinicians.
