DESCRIPTION
Making data-informed decisions with patient shared decision making is an avenue towards effective and value driven therapy practice. In 2022, remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) became a reimbursable service by Medicare. RTM has the potential to provide increased objective data to clinicians allowing for increased knowledge of home exercise program adherence, tracking physical activity and exercise intensity. This asynchronous care may improve the potential for sustained behavior change, though the full potential of RTM remains to be seen. This webinar will review the latest published data on RTM. Additionally, we will share successful RTM application examples in neurological populations and cancer rehabilitation, as well as how these can differ from more common musculoskeletal applications.
