ATA Telehealth & Virtual Care Taxonomy

October 6, 2026
ATA

This taxonomy provides a standardized set of definitions for telehealth, virtual care, and technology-enabled health services. Telehealth effectively connects individuals and their healthcare providers when in-person care is not necessary or not possible, enabling patients to receive care, consult with clinicians, obtain diagnoses, manage conditions, arrange prescriptions, and access health information remotely
