Association of Telehealth Service Providers (ATSP) is an international membership-based trade non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care through growth of the telehealth industry and promoting the use of telecommunications in healthcare. Its main activities are advocacy, education awareness programs, and business support services. It is a business-oriented group which focuses on providing members with information and tools to facilitate the success of their telehealth activities.
ATSP believes that telemedicine is a practical tool that can improve the distribution of healthcare services to the benefit of both patients and providers.
It was founded in 1996 by Douglas Perednia, MD and is located in Portland, Oregon. Its executive director is Will Engle.
