A New Era of Patient Engagement and Musculoskeletal Care
As the healthcare landscape shifts toward personalized, value-based care, Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is emerging as a powerful tool for managing patient outcomes—especially for musculoskeletal and respiratory conditions. Introduced by CMS as part of its effort to expand digital health, RTM offers providers a reimbursable way to monitor non-physiological patient data like therapy adherence, response to treatment, and functional status, all from the comfort of the patient’s home.
💡 What Makes RTM Different?
Unlike Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), which tracks vitals through connected devices, RTM focuses on therapeutic data reported by patients or collected through software applications. This includes information on medication response, pain levels, physical therapy progress, or how a patient is functioning day to day.
RTM supports both clinical insight and behavioral engagement, making it especially valuable for physical therapists, occupational therapists, and physicians treating chronic pain, orthopedic issues, or post-operative recovery. With RTM, providers can identify challenges early, adjust care plans remotely, and reduce the risk of complications or hospital readmissions.
