## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-25 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> # Best telehealth platforms for medical clinics
> 
> The right answer depends mostly on one thing: whether you want telehealth *inside* your existing EHR, or a standalone video tool bolted on. Here's how I'd rank them.
> 
> ## If you already have an EHR - use its native module first
> 1. **athenaTelehealth (athenahealth)** - Embedded directly in athenaOne, so scheduling, the visit, documentation, and billing all happen in one place. No double entry, no separate login. If you're on athena, don't buy a third-party tool. ([athenahealth](https://www.athenahealth.com/solutions/telehealth-services))
> 2. **healow TeleVisits (eClinicalWorks)** - Same logic for eCW practices; the progress note is written in the EHR during the visit. It also works with other EHRs if you want it standalone. ([eClinicalWorks](https://www.eclinicalworks.com/products-services/patient-engagement/televisits/))
> 3. **Updox** - The best pick when your EHR's own module is weak. It bundles video, secure texting, and digital intake in one dashboard, integrates with most EHRs, and its virtual waiting room supports real triage workflows (staff rooms the patient, then the provider joins).
