ATA Telemedicine List Servers

The American Telemedicine Association's List Servers are an easy way to network with other ATA members interested in a particular specialty. This mechanism is an Internet e-mail computer program that subscribes individuals through normal e-mail channels to a common "discussion" group. List Servers are available for each ATA Special Interest Group.

All ATA members are able to take advantage of this exclusive member benefit and use the ATA List Server daily to network and share valuable information with colleagues worldwide. To participate in the discussion group, you must "subscribe." After subscribing, the List Server takes the message and sends it to each subscriber in the group.

ATA members are welcome to join one or more List Serveres (listed below). Directions on how to join an ATA List Servere are found below. This is a one-time-only required step. Once subscribed, the List Server manager sends a reply, which must be responded to in order to confirm interest in becoming a List Server member. Once confirmed, messages can be communicated to the "group" by sending email to the address noted in your confirmation email.

Directions to join an ATA SIG or Telemedicine List Server:

  1. Click the List Server of your choice (listed below).(The Home Healthcare Special Interest Group List Server will be used as an example)
  2. You will arrive at that List Servers page which will have this text:

    Your password: (leave blank if you have no personal password) This is OPTIONAL, we recommend not using a password or use the same password that you use to log onto the members only section.

    If you are not a member of "ata-homehealth", please choose:

    Join ata-homehealth

    Visit ata-homehealth without joining (we do not recommend this as you can only read messages and you will have to come back to the members only section each time to read messages)
