Here's how I'd rank them.\n\n**1. Your existing EHR's native telehealth module - check this first.** If you're on athenahealth, eClinicalWorks (healow), Epic (MyChart video), Elation, or DrChrono, the built-in video visit is usually the best option available to you, even if it's not the best product in isolation.
