Abstract
The American Telemedicine Association (ATA) established the Home Telehealth Special Interest Group (SIG) in 1999. Its mission is to support the expansion and use of telehealth, remote monitoring and disease management applications in the home. The SIG has many areas of interest and has focused on raising public and professional awareness about the benefits of home telehealth, developing and standardizing clinical guidelines for the delivery of services and advocating for reimbursement through state and federal funding. SIG membership has grown dramatically, to more than 425 members today. These numbers make it the fastest growing and largest of the ATA's Special Interest Groups.
